Disquiet Tension.
When I try to sleep, I remember all my fears,
And every mistake I've made in the past five years.
My heart feels heavy, alone in a crowded room.
Suffocating claustrophobia, will this be over soon?
This is exhausting, trying to win this fight.
Hand over mouth, nothing's felt so right.
I'm running out of breath, I can't make this climb.
Chasing down the clock, seems I'm out of time.
First cut, not always the deepest.
Watching in the mirror, I dont wanna miss this.
In debt, I guess you can say that I owe you.
All these years, still can't say that I know you.
Close your eyes, tell me I hit close to home.
Lie to my face, I'm tired of feeling all alone.
Always changing, why do I feel the same?
Pointing fingers, I know I'm to blame.
Tell me you care, don't cut all ties.
Don't lose focus, I'll find some truth in your disguise.

I've read this twice. First, I read it quietly so I can fully understand. Second, out loud so I can experience it. This is a great poem. Thank you for sharing! ♥
