A Chance to Breathe: From Anonymous

I can’t come up for air,
I feel like I’m drowning in my own thoughts. I can’t breathe. I can’t talk. I can’t simply clear my head. I’m stuck, I want to get out but I stay curled up in the corner of my mind. I’m constantly moving, thinking, and worrying. I don’t talk I’m not social, so this is a step towards expressing myself… I’ve tried art, Netflix binging hell I’ve tried taking it out on so many people. So, I hope whoever reads this gets a chance to breathe.
