Tomorrow I turn eighteen.
I’ve been living my whole life hating the fact that I was born
And I could’ve sworn that I wasn’t gonna make it this far
I’ve done my fair share of harm
I’ve popped bars and I’ve let loose
I’ve downed my weight in ***** and juice
I feel as though I have tried it all,
I don’t have very far left to fall
I’m tired of the world making me feel so **** small
I think this might be my final call
Eighteen years have come and gone,
In a hell that went on for far too long
I don’t think this is where I belong,
And I don’t think I’ll be around to hear my birthday song

a bewildered face, a blurry
cloud in the sky, i’m
turning in circles and every second i see something else collapse.
like the lungs
behind our ribs, we can’t breathe
when the air is so thick.
our bodies shrinking, lungs
suffocating, i don’t think you have room for
me,, anymore.
it was too overwhelming i think
You are the tide
Creeping slowly
Consuming
Overwhelming
Washing over me
And dragging me
Out where I cannot hope
To ever find my way back

You are my micro-love,

cuz whenever I think about you,

my feelings overwhelm me

and they make me feel so small

and ******* insignificant.

take a deep breath in
exhale, let your body go
it will be alright

I'm grasping for as much air I can get...
My head is barely above water.
So this what it feels like...
To be consumed by so many emotions at once..

I woke up today
Surrounded by boxes.
Empty they were
Not made of wood
They were made of cardboard
I realised the door was above me
I could see the light peeking through
I wanted to get through the door
Away from the darkness
So I stood on a box
To start climbing towards the door
But the box couldn't hold my weight
It collapsed beneath me
'Oh!' I thought
And I tried another one
But still,
Couldn't hold my weight
I tried and tried
But the boxes kept breaking.
I started to panic
I was stuck in the darkness!
For every box I stood on,
Another would appear
But none would hold me.
I began to weep and weep
I screamed for help
I shut my eyes
Silently crying
When a voice said,
'Turn around'
So I did.
And there was another door
It had been there
All along

in these waters, drowning
my hands shoot to the light above
as my feet kiss the abyss
with my eyes i see in front

the endless
immersed in it all
my head is flooded
my eyes just letting out

they close, i shut them tight
do not open tonight
i've fallen in love.
become my depression.
found a passion.

and am lost in all of it.

Suffocating feeling
gasping to breath
Overwhelming sensation
A need to leave
Isolation wanted
Great need for space
Overheating
Burning up
Sweat on my face
Head starting to spin
Walls closing in
Need to escape
Leave
Get out
Before it's too late
Inhale
Exhale
Out the door
Through the gate
Sit
Breath
Take my time
Got out
Got away
Everything will be fine
When I was 19 started  suffering panic attacks and the only way I could stop them was to leave the place I was having the panic attack. Had.them for about 3yrs
