The Usual

It keeps happening They lied, it won't change I'm still feeling empty and strange My chest feels tight and I can't breathe I need to remember to stay calm But everything is exploding like an internal bomb What am I even panicked about The idea of always circling back? My brain always tricks me then lands a painful attack Things won't change. This is my life. I will never stay okay. This devil on my should will always convince me to stray.
