I watched it work
It's way into my fingertips;
This nervousness
I felt it drag
My Head into the bitterness
This resentment is slowly building
I choke every time
That I breathe in
In this room without a view
That I'm drowning in
It doesn't work
Fitting yourself into the mould;
It's not that simple
My lungs collapse
Under the weight of everything
I'm too afraid to try
I'm too afraid to feel
