Bang Bang Bang, sounds of gunshots go off in my head
Ping, cling, ping, a rattling sound of clashing metal echoes in my dreams
Panic, trembling all alone as visions of sadness and horrors plays over and over and over in my mind
Each time worse than before
Calm Down, a foolish command that is of no use
Calm Down, How can I calm down
I wake everyday tired, stressed and scared
I walk outside in a daydreamed state
trying to escape
Keeping my heads in the clouds
Shrouding my fears with random nonsense
Forcing a smile on my face everyday while quietly hoping that one day it'll be genuine
Silently plugging my ears and my mind to avoid al the terrors
Then the TV comes on and immediately I'm brought back
Faced with all horrors of the world suddenly placed on my shoulders all over again
I cry, panic, scream, yell
Falling on deaf ears
Calm down they go again
Oh Grow up, you think it's easy to stay calm
it's not
Its like trying to ignore the entire world
Like trying to escape the all seeing eye of God
Being calm is a privilege, one that I don't have.
