I wake up to find myself in a cold, dark, and cryptic, hallway.
Surrounded by darkness, not knowing where I am.
I walk down the unending hallway.
I feel the walls of cold metal, suffocating me.
I cannot breathe!
  The longer I walk, the colder it gets.
My eyes begin to play tricks on me.
Hallucinating! Words take physical form, chasing me!
“Do your best!”, “Be the best” “Study hard and get good grades!”
Echoing through the hallways, getting louder and louder.
I cannot hear!
The walls begin to shift and change. Which way do I go!
The hallway changes into a dark hole,
I’m falling! Spiraling down the tunnel of life.
I finally land.
“Jason!” “Jason!”
“Do your best!”, “Be the best” “Study hard and get good grades!”
I can hear but cannot speak.
Dropping me into a dark room, lit only with a red light.
I was alone, still noisy and chaotic.
As I scan the room, my head begins to pound.
My head is going to explode!
Weight on my shoulders, can’t let anyone down.
“Do your best!”, “Be the best” “Study hard and get good grades!”
Who am I living for?
I need to get out!
Opening the door, I feel the cold air once again.
Dashing out of the room, I am back in the dark, cold hallway.
I hurtle down this hallway as the thoughts in my head beat me down.
The faster I run, the more I can feel reality catching up.
I’m losing my my mind!
“Do your best!”, “Be the best” “Study hard and get good grades!”
Finally I see the light, 
I am finally free!
I run into the light as the noise gets louder and louder
“Jason!” “Jason!”
“Do your best!”, “Be the best” “Study hard and get good grades!”
I wake up to free myself from my nightmare
Only to be greeted with my reality,,,  my true nightmare.
