Bells ringing, children singing, people laughing

I hear steps coming toward me

I must run now, but wait where will I go

I am not awake, I am in my bed

It feels like the ceiling is coming down on me

I try to get up, but something holds me down

I look to the left, I look to the right, and I see in front of me

Oh what can it be, I cannot tell what it is

It is a dark shadow, it looks just like me

Is this what insanity feels like, is this what insanity looks like?

No I must not let this thing over take me

Get up, run fast I tell my body

My body won't move

I hear bells ringing, I hear children singing, I hear people laughing

Is this for real, or is it insanity?
