So tight
So close
I cannot breathe
So uncomfortable
I want to run
But I cannot move
I want to leave this place
But my body remains stuck
So hard to keep a smile on my face
So hard to keep this positive demeanour
I just want to escape
I don’t like this feeling
My skin crawls with the discomfort of it all
My heart beats too fast
Sweat appears on my brow
Pins and needles in my fingers
I want to run
Please let me go so I can leave
I can’t breathe
I’m getting light-headed
Week after week
The same feelings
Seems like it’s getting worse
I am so alone
I feel alien
I feel like a sore thumb
I feel like I’m standing out from the crowd
But in a bad way
So tired
I keep fighting this feeling
I want to let go
Maybe I shouldn’t fight this anynore
I just let it be
And eventually I emerge from this tight space
A beautiful butterfly
The world mine to explore
