i’m hyperventilating but
there’s no air in my lungs and
my throat feels dry but my eyes feel wet and
my heart feels heavy but my brain feels light and
my stomach is eating itself alive but it is full
oh lord, i swear it’s full. oh god, it’s full.
my bones ache and my skin feels as thin as paper and
my mind is dizzy and nothing looks solid and
i feel as though the world has just dissipated and
there is nothing left to keep me from floating away.
