Away

Sit in silence
World falls around me
Darkness decends
Thoughts collide
World pushing in
Trying to suffocate
Turning me on myself
Nails on my skin
Pain reminds me to live
Frustration builds
Watch those around me
Not like them
Don’t live this pain
Laughter and smiles
Acid on skin
Anger peaks
Walk away again.
