if one more person
tells me i take things
way too personally
i might lose my ****

crippling anxiety
running its course
don't blame me
or i'll lose my wits

i'm already on edge
i can't take anymore
and even if i know
exploding is not a good fix

i will let it all go
because why the **** not
if i hold it in any longer
i will blow to bits

i get all choked up
and you yell at me
because i can't find the air in my lungs
to vocalize it

i am so upset
i'm frustrated
beyond imagination
feelings become too intense

i'm drowning in words
that won't come out
because my irrational feelings of terror
won't let them

but you don't care
you want an answer
so you'll push my buttons
again and again

not understanding
that i'm shutting down
concerned with my actions
not my intent
