seventeen- how it felt

my knees shake

as my soul breaks

i've never felt so low.


i can no longer breathe

something's killing me

why won't you let me go?


my knees break in half-

just like my heart,

as your heel digs into my chest


my pulse races, like i've just run

so i count to five

and then ten.


somebody is squeezing my heart in a fist,

my tears are causing a flood.


i never understood how anxiety felt

until you took away my sun.
