Walking in the crowded hallways The teens yelling Banging Talking Shouting All of these sounds Coming from all directions Making me feel small And claustrophobic Suddenly my clothes are too tight and too loose And my hair is itchy on my neck Overwhelming urge to scream and run away To be alone in my bedroom Where its quiet at least But no I need to go to my next class That I'll forget about as soon as the test is finished Or maybe before I don't know
