Small and suffocating
Overwhelming emotion
Panic and anxiety
Everything I am used to
Boundaries and borders
I would never step outside
It might be better this way
Keep the truth hidden inside
Fear will be forever
Consuming me at all times
Eyes constantly follow me
Or is it all in my mind
Truth is terrifying
I try to reach the surface
My hopeful head in the clouds
Reality pulls me down
Living lost and lonely
I look in all directions
I recall my existence
With nobody else but doubt
