PARALYZED

It’s like I can’t breathe… Feel like my airways are caving in. Everything is crumbling around me… Just want to vacate and flee. Head is spinning fast… Seeing flashes like warning signs. Like shit’s fixing to hit the fan… Like somebody pulled the plug inside. Every ounce of me Wants to get up… But it’s like… My body’s paralyzed. Screaming on the inside… While I’m frozen in place. Every ounce of me Wants to get up… But it’s like… My body’s paralyzed. Insides are screaming… As the walls try to stand tall. But every wall has a crack… Till it all collapses inside. The weight keeps pulling me down… Till I can’t get back up. Laying on what feels Like broken glass. The glass cuts deep… There should be pain… But I’m completely numb. Hands and knees… Scratched and bruised. Every ounce of me Wants to get up… But it’s like… My body’s paralyzed. Screaming on the inside… While I’m frozen in place. Every ounce of me Wants to get up… But it’s like… My body’s paralyzed. It’s like a glitch… On… Off… On… Off… Everything starts flickering. You don’t know Which way to look. Covering your eyes… As it flashes so bright It feels like It could blind you. But at this point… What if it did? If only it was As easy as closing our eyes… But we can’t Close our minds. Every ounce of me Wants to get up… But it’s like… My body’s paralyzed. Screaming on the inside… While I’m frozen in place. Every ounce of me Wants to get up… But it’s like… My body’s paralyzed. I know y’all are out there… Thinking you’re the only one. But you’re not. Others are out there… Who understand. You’re not the only one. You’re not the only one.
