Breathe,
With short quick breaths,
Heart rate skyrocketing like a weight on my chest,
I can’t face society, anxiety consumes my life.
Water burning down your throat,
While heat drowns out your insides,
Is this what it’s supposed to feel like,
Or have I just lost my mind?
Is anybody listening?
Can you hear the muted screams?
Are you listening?
Let’s raise the stakes,
Not like it matters it’s only one life.
Is it bad or just getting worse?
"It’s not over before it’s too late"
That’s what they think will keep you calm,
Nothing will cost you more.
Breathe,
Take the weight off your chest.

Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind
It’s what it is to be human, it’s what we need to survive.
No one gets left behind,
Or is made to feel worthless,
No one stands alone,
Friendship is the one thing that shouldn’t die.
No remedy for scars from the ideals I have
For this I die for this I fight
Respect, care and be there
If that’s not the deal, run for your life.
What a blow to my heart that was
To see I was the one trapped under ice
With a hand reaching out.
Maybe one day I’ll stop to care
But I hope I never will.
I thought we had a deal.
Good riddance, goodbye.

I couldn’t breathe, it keeps getting worse
Been lost for words not like they noticed.
I try to look like I’m fine, the mirror says I’m lying
This feeling inside has got to go
‘cause I can’t bluff myself anymore.
Sidewalks and knuckles cracked
I fall down but won’t give up on
Our dream, it was until the end,
Not stabbing each other in the back.
I’m going to need your help to sing these songs,
I know I can do it but I don’t want to all alone,
I’m done trying to keep control,
I’m no good here on my own.

Overwrought

Am I strong for not letting it weigh me down?
Or weak when it freezes me up?
"Keep the distance, don’t touch the water"
If it’s all or nothing, there’s no choice for me.
Don’t break my fall, I’ve thought it all over
Educate myself with every bruise that I get,
I’ve been running scared all my life,
Plant my feet, face the tide coming strong.
Face the tide coming strong.
Blessed are the heart attacks,
Every sudden shortness of breath,
I want every one of them, I’ll wear the scars,
Anything over the bliss of ignorance.
