panic

i try
very hard
not to baby my emotions

i try
to be brave
at all times

but something inside me
changed
after the plague

walls drew closer
the world got bigger

the eyes of a thousand people
could be felt
on my face

all i want to do
is walk away
from places i used to
linger in

all i want to say
is hidden inside
a foggy brain

all i want to be
is that fearless girl
that knew everything

and wanted
to tell it all
in one breath

before the lights went out inside
