Awful Happens

What was supposed to be a peaceful sanctuary from fear, became a never-ending nightmare.

Awful Happens
 
Tragedy has a strange and varied effect of different people.  Some individuals pull through with their mentality virtually intact. For others, weak in spirit, mentally trying events may send one spiraling downward into a seemingly protective psychosis.
 
Mr Awful Happens hid from the light of reality to avoid the darkness of truth.  Mr Awful hid from his painful realities, causing not mental retribution, but mental deterioration. He experienced twisted flashbacks created by tragedies pungent truths. Mr Awful ran from the fear of his chancy reality only to create a world where his thoughts and reality were distorted. A desperate spirit trapped in his paranoid psychosis.
 
This scared soul ran deeper into the realm of his dangerous subconscious. A last and futile effort was put forth in hopes of resurrecting his damaged and fear filled mind. Perhaps to live again without his twisted fears. He envisioned himself returning to realities light. Desperately, Mr Awful dreamed he was strong enough to appear once again in the light , though awoke in in seemingly never-ending world of unexplained thoughts.
 
Thoughts created by his tragedy stricken, weak and exhausted mind. He escaped from the grasp realities truth, into the realm of his paranoid imagination. Imagination running wild, untamed, unstoppable. Created was his inner ego. His weak spirits only defense against life's fears and misfortunes.
 
Mr Awful Happens, fled from realities light, to avoid the darkness of truth and became lost forever.
 
What was supposed to be a peaceful sanctuary from fear, became a never-ending nightmare. Never to awake. I don't know whats scarier. Living in fear or running and becoming trapped in a protective Hell.  Just another victim of tragedies reality.

I did an internship working with the chronically mentally ill and what you have written is pretty on the mark. I wrote something called Tormented which is about what I witnessed during my internship.
