The Blur
My hands tingle and my arms go numb
Here comes this familiar feeling that´s always so unfamiliar
My vision blurs as I zone into the blur
Every sound is amplified and unbearable
The tapping, the clicking, the slight whisper in the corner
Even the white noise screams at me
My breathing runs faster as each inhale becomes hitched
Everything around me moves so fast yet i'm stuck in time
I remember my therapists words
¨Breathe and feel the floor beneath you.¨
The chair under me becomes more present
I sink into it as my breathing slows
It's over
I glance around at my peers around me
They sit silently doing their work
No one noticed
I zone back into the lesson
I wish this would stop, I´m tired
