Nightmare

In the shadowed corridors of high school's tumultuous landscape,

I found myself betrayed and left apart by those I trusted most.

My closest friends, my confidants, turned their backs on me,

Their loyalty replaced by lies that poisoned the well of trust.

In whispered conversations and behind closed doors,

They wove a web of deception that ensnared the hearts and minds of others.

The camaraderie we once shared, a distant memory,

Replaced by isolation in a hostile environment.

The weight of isolation bore down upon me,

A suffocating silence that drowned my voice.

I yearned for the warmth of friendship,

But instead, I found myself in the icy grip of abandonment.

I stood alone, an outcast in my own world,

Struggling to decipher the motives behind their treachery.

Each day became a battle, a test of endurance,

As I navigated the hostile terrain of my own fears.

And then, in the dead of night, it all unraveled,

The truth revealed in the harsh light of dawn.

It was a dream, a nightmare that had gripped me,

One of my biggest fears, born of insecurity and doubt.

But the memory lingered, a haunting reminder,

Of the fragility of friendship and the fear of betrayal.

I woke to the comfort of reality, knowing that,

Though high school was a challenging chapter,

I had emerged stronger, with the bonds of true friends intact.
