Standing on the edge of the crowd racing mind, sweaty hands trying to calm down but you're scared & you can't your heart beats faster the voices get louder the lights start spinning you're getting dizzy and you just... can't seem to... breathe
Sitting in the crowded lunchroom self-conscious & afraid Are they judging me? Can they somehow see? My panicked face? My heartbeat race? or the anxiety, taking hold of me, until I... just cannot... breathe?
Why can't I breathe when I need to most?
Standing at the front of class icy smiles, staring eyes watching every move I make trying to see beneath my disguise Why do they watch me? What do they hope to see? As my chest tightens my visions darkens And I... just cannot... breathe...
But I want to breathe...
If you can relate, let me know... I know I'm not alone in this...
