rainy days are for snails

When I got home I would get ready for bed kicking off my shoes and taking off my dress leaving me in my sweater and panties, and then I would lay down in bed staring up at the ceiling until I would eventually start to fall asleep.

I would have a very strange dream I would be sitting in a dirty living room it had old cigarettes on the floor and mold growing on the dirty stained carpet the wallpaper was falling off and stained yellow from cigarette smoke I would be sitting on the ragged couch watching the static on the TV it seemed like I was faintly crying on the couch, and it seemed like I could see a small view into the kitchen in the next room to a woman and man screaming at each other about something I didn't know what though, but it sounded extremely muffled like somebody stuffed a sock in their mouth while screaming… this dream seemed so familiar… I couldn't see those people, but it seemed like I knew who they were, maybe… parents…? Not only that, but I didn't understand, but I would wake up not too long after.
