My entire life has felt like suffocating. The idea of standing in front of people has only caused mental breakdowns and tears. Suffocating- Something I've began to find comforting. When asphyxia sinks in, closing myself off, and escaping is the only thing that makes it okay. Screaming, kicking and self inflicted bruises. I want to be numb, but drugs is not an option, and the idea of drowning my sorrows in alcohol terrifies me. It is times like these when I need someone most. When there is something I can't control, words become harder to find. When everyone seems to take a little longer to talk to me, mentally I begin to drown. A daily battle found within the screaming confines of my mind.; A pressing weight pounding against my lungs, causing my massive inability to breath. I am about to explode, Like a ticking time bomb of discomfort and suppressed adrenaline.
