Sitting around
\ntrying to relax
\nthinking nothing’s
\ngoing to hurt me
\nBut then a small seed
\nof panic<\/p>\n
No reason to panic
\nI know everyone
\nthat’s in the room
\nThey won’t hurt me
\naren’t going to take
\nadvantage of me
\nI’m safe<\/p>\n
Sometimes it’s a little
\nhard knowing everyone
\nand yet not letting them in
\nLet them see
\nthe panic
\nthe fear
\nthe real me<\/p>\n
I need to get out
\nof here
\nof the area
\naway from everyone<\/p>\n
don’t let them see it
\nsmell it
\nhear it
\nit’s so strong
\nthat you could taste it<\/p>\n
Everyone’s smells are
\nstarting to get to me
\nstarting to panic me
\nto the point that I
\ncan’t breathe
\nanymore<\/p>\n
Need to get outta here
\nthe panic is getting
\nstronger
\nlike everyone can sense
\nit and are creeping closer<\/p>\n
I’m begging silently
\nplease
\nplease
\nplease
\nGet away from me
\nDon’t come any closer
\nThey aren’t listening<\/p>\n
No one’s listening
\nlike they can’t hear
\nme
\nlike they don’t
\neven care
\nhow I feel<\/p>\n
Take a deep breath
\nAnother
\nFeeling so lightheaded
\nI feel so ill
\nlike I’m about to throw up<\/p>\n
panic
\nit won’t stop
\nIt gets stronger
\nit’s winning again
\nFor another day<\/p>\n
Sliding down to the floor
\nwhere no one can see me
\nOutta sight, outta mind
\nmaybe it’ll be easier<\/p>\n
not helping much
\nbut some at least
\na little easier to breathe
\nat least<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
