Pacing the hallway back and forth,
I feel my breath quicken with each step.
I receive the signal to enter the room,
A broken head and broken soul
Struggling to make sense.
The past two months took a tole
I feel my body on defense.
As I look to the ones close,
They don't know how to help.
My mom thinks she knows

And maybe those pains in your chest aren't heartburn,

don't live in fear,
for then you won't
see the world clear.
