I'm suffocating
Each strand of muscle is tensed and unable to function.
Surrounded by strangers, unintentionally guarded
Afraid to speak, afraid to move,
I don't know how to be.
I've lost all drops of confidence.
Not knowing when I will feel comfortable,
or have a sudden attack of dread
Too paralyzed to take a step outside
Have I lost my passion as well?
I can't find my skin.
I can't see anymore.
I hesitate to move onto the other shoulder,
I count my breaths
in fear,
that I may be disruptive.
Doors slam throughout the hours of each day,
I've found myself alone
and slowly enjoying the comfort of it
But I am afraid I will make a home there,
and eventually
disappear altogether.
