Description
I am aloneregardless that I am surrounded people.
They do not understand me,
they don't even try.
I have not one to talk to
no one who listens.
I am alone.
I am dizzy
because I constantly hold my breath
while I wait to see if I did well.
But no, I never do.
Nothing I do is ever good enough.
I never meet the expectations placed upon me.
I drown in disappointment, holding my breath.
I am dizzy.
I am suffocating!
My lungs scream.
Everyone closes in around me
demanding things I can't give them.
I scream.
How can I go on?
I can't go on.
I am suffocating.
I am running,
running far away.
But still my lungs scream.
I have forgotten how to breathe.
I have held it for too long.
But that is why I am leaving.
I am running.
I stop.
I do not know where I am.
But as I stand a breeze blows through.
That breath of wind races into my lung.
They expand and relief rushes through me.
I no longer feel alone.
I am no longer dizzy.
I am no longer suffocating.
I am no longer running.
I can breathe again.
