I can't breathe I'm drowning I'm out of breath The wave of thoughts- Uncontrollable words, memories, Ideas, hate, love, anxiety- Crashes into me Knocking me off my feet I'm drowning In an ocean made up by my mind And I am stuck under a rock Of other people's problems And I can't breathe My lungs are filling up I feel a burning in my chest Is it longing? Perhaps to be normal. Or maybe it's the agony of knowing That I never will be. Why must I care So deeply So profoundly About every thing That I'm drowning in it? And why Oh why Is it fair That I have no way To come up for oxygen. Why can't I find My breath of fresh air Because it feels like Everyone else Already has.
