Deep Breathe
I don’t know where to go
I don’t know what to do
My heart is pounding so fast
How long can this last?
My hands are shaking
My chest is aching
My breath is accelerating
I don’t know how much longer; I can’t keep waiting
Soon it will all go away
Soon it will all disappear from here
I’ll close my eyes and take a deep breath
and then I’ll feel better
I see you talking
I think you’re mocking me
I can’t help that what comes first
Is always the worst thought
I want to be included
But instead I always feel excluded
What do I have to do
To get approval from all of you
I wish it would all go away
I wish it would all disappear from here
But I can’t just close my eyes and take deep breath
and expect it to all be better
Nothing goes right for me
Why can’t I get anything right
I don’t want to be sad
I don’t want to feel this way
How do I make it better
I wish I only knew
I wish I could go away
I wish I could disappear from here
I could just close my eyes and take one last breath
And then it would all be better
