Shaking, breathing, looking around
at all of the students
at the families
at my friends.
Take a deep breath.
In out, in out, in out.
Do they know?
The things going on inside my head.
The blurred thoughts.
The fast thoughts.
The bad thoughts.
The provoking thoughts.
Take a deep breath.
Just keep going.
No need for another breakdown today.
Today is meant for studying.
Today is meant for learning.
Today is meant for loving the day.
My brain: Today is meant
for rapid thoughts
shifty eyes
zoning out
And thinking that everyone hates you.
Today is not going to be the good day I hoped for.
