*tw: panic attack*
everything is so
overwhelming
sounds pound
in my ears
small messes
look gargantuan
words i have
to study
suddenly make
no sense
and numbers
blend together
i have too many
responsibilities
and not
enough time
i'm filled with
this feeling
of panic
and i lash out
and i get angry
and i get mean
and i get worried
and i cry
and i rush around
and i try to
get things done
but everything
is overwhelming
and overstimulating
and i don't want to
be a disappointment
but i can't
seem to focus on
anything right now
so i breathe
and i breathe
and i breathe
and i tap my fingers
and i put on music
and i wipe my tears
and i push
myself forwards
and i try to be okay again
