Dear English Teacher

by IllyaOz

I didn't write my essay... Because in a room of silence, Everything feels so loud. My brain is screaming at me to run away, Like the paper in front of me has claws and teeth, Just waiting to tear me apart. I want to tear it apart. I can feel it bubbling and boiling up my throat, Suffocating me so the anxiety can breath. But I can't breath. When did this silence become so deafening?

Notes

I had a SAC (a very important test) yesterday. I've had a really bad depressive episode for the past week, not able to concentrate in class and kept telling my teacher I was fine. I wrote 3 sentences for an essay that was ment to be 600+ worlds long because I was so anxious. I wrote this poem on the back on my essay. I wonder what my teacher is going to say.
