does anyone else
get that pressure in your chest
it hurts to breathe
and your pulse is quick?
does anyone else
get a lump in your throat
it won't be pushed down
and your throat feels raw?
does anyone else
dream of happy days
a dog and a beach
and the smell of the ocean?
does anyone else
not want to die
but not want to lie
about the life they are living?
does anyone else
want to be someone else
want to be somewhere else
want to be something else?

but not want to lie
about the life they are living?
does anyone else
want to be someone else
want to be somewhere else
want to be something else?
