Reality


The teacher does roll call

But I don't answer

It isn't me at all.

-   ∞   -

My anxiety swallows me whole, always shouting

I think, and think, and think

Until my brain is crowded.

-   ∞   -

The day goes on in normality

Everyone seems so cheerful

Is this ever actually reality?

-   ∞   -

The bell rings and it's never laying off

Everybody walks away to their houses

What do I do if the noise never stops?

-   ∞   -

Yell, scream, fight

All things they truly love to do

There was never one quiet night.

-   ∞   -

I lay down and think

Of every commotion throughout the day

Sometimes I even forget to blink.

-   ∞   -

I drift into my sleep

And everything turns into a decision

I wake up in the middle of the night and weep. 

-   ∞   -

The pain runs through my joints

The nightmare repeats again

There's nothing to do at this point.

-   ∞   -

What do I do

Stay awake or sleep forever

I can never seem to choose.
