Thoughts and feelings flood my mind
Why is it all so fast
I wish I could shut it off
Shut it all out
It hurts, they're still yelling
What did I do wrong
I'm sorry
It wasn't my fault?
What are you yelling for then
Thoughts and feelings flood all of me
I want to curl up
I want to cry
I want to scream
I can't think straight
I can't move
I can't speak
I try to hide behind what I don't feel
Behind masquerades of joy
Behind walls so strongly built
Crumbling down as I break
Gasping breaths leave my lungs
Tears finally leave my eyes
No sound
I can't move
Trying to compose my mind
In a wild tangle of thoughts and worries
They all stare
Why must they look at me
I sigh as I look visibly ok now
Mind scrambled
Body and face calm
