I look down,
Only to see a faraway land,
My brain goes to different directions,
Places it never goes to.

My stomach feels
Like a thousand knives.
I gulp down a breath I wasn’t even holding,
And turn around to see you.

You look at me questioning,
You don’t know
How it feels,
To be like me.

Thoughts scatter across my brain,
As my body pauses like a robot,
I wish that someone was in control,
Unfortunately no one is.

You can see me struggle,
And you ask me if I need help.
My ears drown out the sound,
To hear a ringing silence.
