Panic (mine)

I sit on your stairs, listening to you and you dad yell at each other

He's screaming that I'm just another heartbreaker like your mother

You're screaming that you know I love you

He's saying I'll break your heart in two

I start to tune you out

I start to not be able to breathe, my lungs can't even yell to you not even a shout

My vision starts to blur

I just hear a ringing that's making my ears puncture

My hands can't stop shaking

My brain is aching

I don't notice you sitting next to me

I barely notice you holding me as I let all my anxiety free
