'm not claustrophobic
But lately I've been feeling like
The walls are closing on me
Suffocating me
Windows of my mind are blocking the winds
                                  Sweating
Trembling

Drowning in the Ocean of my own thoughts
Lonely yet surrounded
Confused but aware
Quiet on the outside inside I'm screaming
                                                             Sad but smiling
                                                                       

Holding back the     
                                                              tears 

I'm both my own knight in shining armour and greatest fear.
