Escape.

Let me escape.

The blood trapped in my veins. My veins want to explode.

The heart pounding in my chest. The rush of adrenaline makes me insane.

The brain exploding from the overwhelming thoughts. I am overwhelmed.

The head thumping from the lack of energy. I lack the energy to eat. Drink. Sleep. Live. My head is faint.

The legs holding me up, that are about to give out. I crumble into a ball. My life crumbles alongside me.

My lungs expanding into my ribcage. My lungs are trapped. I can't breathe. I can't breathe.

My ribcage trapping my chest. My chest full of emotion.

My chest.

It hurts.

Let me breathe.

Let me escape

Reality.

Let me breathe.

Please.

I can't handle it anymore.

I can't handle it.

I can't.

I just.

Want.

To.

Breathe.
