Ever feel like you're drowning, While you're out in open air?
people stealing glances, others just plain stare.
You begin to panic, your hearbeat racing fast.
its almost as if your in a race, and you're finishing it last.
"Wait.. Slow down. Try to breathe."
Their words echo around you, swirling through your ears.
Your heart beats even faster, your eyes dart side to side.
you want to escape, but there's no where's safe to go.
you wish they understood you, the pain you feel each day.
like someones pushing you deeper, as you fight to get away.
You take another pill, just a drug to ease your mind.
to make them think you're alright, to make them think you're fine.
although its temporary, it helps you feel at ease.
an anesthetic for the fear, until it comes again.
