Empty

I feel like I'm spiraling out of control. 
My mind can't stay focused
it's on overload.

stimuli coming from every direction
little noises and voices
demand my attention

My neck is pulsing and feeling tight
constricting and restricting
I'm not alright

I just want to feel alive again,
going through motions
foreign in my skin

My thoughts are disconnected from me
chasm between my mind and body
I can't feel anything

It's like I don't exist outside my mind
but I can't even think
nothing is inside

I need help, but you can't help me
I wouldn't know how
I just feel empty.

Inhale - exhale, I continue to do
breath by breath
I'll survive this too.
