Why can't you just calm down?
They asked me
Why can't you just breathe?
They harshly din
My lips tightened
My fists clenched
My eyes narrowed
My jaw twitched
Why can't I just calm down?
Why can't I just breathe?
Why can't I just function normally?
Why can't I just smile?
Let's try switching lungs
Let's try switching brains
Let's try switching hearts
Let's try switching grins
Feel someone squeeze your chest
Feel yourself freeze
Feel the air slowly leave
Feel your thoughts paper thin
Feel the thousand bolts
That burn you
When someone touches
Your skin
Feel your heart
Beat, beat, beat
Faster, then your
Head starts to spin
Can you understand now?

שיריםThings I never had the courage to say aloud but wrote down instead, hoping that one day another soul like myself would come across it; hoping that someday someone could relate and be able to say 'I am not alone.' ♡Poetry♡ (Cover wasn't drawn by me)
