dizzy

I'm dizzy

my head is too light

i lean against the wall to stabilize my wobbly legs

 

the wall starts warping

and the floor starts warping 

and my brain starts warping

 

lungs: frozen

legs: frozen

hands: frozen

 

threat: growing

pain: growing 

room: shrinking

 

he takes a step

I might collapse

I can't do that

 

she steps in

not alone anymore

everything's fine

 

pretend I can breathe

pretend not to shake

pretend to feel safe

 

everything's fine

she's here now

everythings fine

I'm just too sensitive

everything's fine
