I don’t like this

Micah Finchley

I don’t like this:

 

I don’t like this,

Everything’s much too loud.

Much. Too. Loud.

 

I’m overwhelmed.

My collar is pressing against my neck and I feel like I’m choking.

My clothes feel like they’ve been glued to my skin.

 

I don’t like this.

My eyes dark across the room.

And I try to get calm.

But nothing is working.

 

I have to leave.

I need to leave.

 

My eyes begin to sting.

And my lungs hurt.

 

But suddenly everything’s okay.

 

Everything is okay.

    This sounds overwhelming and anxiety provoking. Nicely written
