Dear Diary,

I am sitting in a dark room. The red digital numbers on my clock tell me that it's three twenty-two. Tonight is the thirteenth night I can't fall asleep. I know this because of the tally marks I've made on my wall, with a navy blue crayon. I wish I could sleep, and fall away to the land of fake reality. I long to be able to forget all the stresses of my poor excuse of a life. Dreaming used to be my getaway, or escape. It worked far better than any drug that could be obtained. (I know this from my so-called friends, who suddenly love me a lot more when they run out of drug money) Then they came, the creatures that now haunt my dreams. I don't know how they came, or how to make them leave. Once my safe haven, dreaming is now even scarier than my life. I know that they will come every chance they get, so I avoid sleep at all costs. I stay in my dark room every night because I fear someone will find out about my problem and intervene. I'm stuck. I don't know what to do so I think I'll just stay here, and hope something good will happen to me. Not that I really expect anything, but I can hope can't I? But then again, why would a stroke of luck come my way? I haven't done anything to deserve it. I suppose the only thing to do is keep counting the nights.

Sincerely, Self Pity.

K.

That isn't possible

Nine days without sleep can kill you.

....

If that's all you got out of it, sorry, but I guess you missed the meaning.
