everything’s rushing
the thoughts, the stress
it’s all so overwhelming
I want it to stop
the thoughts are too loud
they ricochet from side to side
through my brain
I want it to stop
it’s so strong, the fear of disappointment
it’s overwhelming
I don’t want to let them down
I want it to stop
what if it doesn’t work
what if I fail
what if I let them down
I want it to stop
I’m always too scared
always falling
back to my safety net
I just want it to stop
I’m full of excitement
all I feel
is the adrenaline
but I still just want it to stop
I can’t keep relying on others
not now
it’s all me
yet I still want it to stop
there’s music
ringing through my ears
it’s so calming
I think it’s stopping
just breathe
it’s okay
don’t worry
it’s all stopping now
it’s all stopped
it’s quiet again
I can focus now I can breathe again
