I want to cry
But I couldn’t tell you why
I don’t even know it myself

I feel so overwhelmed
My fight or flight is activated
What’s wrong with me?

Logic knows I am alright
I’ve nothing to fear, I’m safe
Yet something is amiss

Just breathe, I tell myself
Breathe through the feelings
Breathe away the panic

Now the music is too loud?
I can hear everything
Going on around me, all at once

I feel like I’m suffocating
Should I step outside?
There’s too many people out there

What is this weight I feel?
I wish it would go away
I just want to be okay
