I try to escape this paper town. But, all of my thoughts take over and hold me here like chains. All of the lies that surround me break through the truth and stab me like tiny knives. I'm broken like shattered glass. I try to breath but water fills my lungs instead of air. I'm trapped with no way of escape. I look around, my world is on fire. It burns down around me. All I can do is stand there and watch. The ashes of my life burn as they whip my face. I need to get away from this hell. I need someone, something, to catch me when I fall. To save me from myself. To protect me before I hurt myself again. To rescue me from the cruel flames of reality. I need someone to be my escape.
