like your mind is floating away,
and there's nothing you can do to stop it,
it will always have the final say.
it feels like you're dying,
like there is nothing you can do except from crying.
like there's a boulder resting on your heart,
as though the only solution is to rip your skin and bones apart.
it feels like you're going insane,
what the f*ck is going on inside my brain?
like you've just sprinted a thousand miles,
like you're an empty shell with black holes as eyes.
it feels like you're trapped
like your body has been hacked.
your head is pounding,
you're sweating,
your hands are shaking
you can barely breathe,
it's almost impossible to speak,
and it feels as though it may never end.
that is what it feels like.
