Amidst the swarm of people, I feel myself begin to drown in a sea of faces, all so different and yet, all so similar.
I try to keep my composure, but it's hard to maintain. I feel so out of place, like I don't belong here.
I try to put on a smile, but it feels forced and fake. I'm caught in a whirlwind, of emotions I can't control.
I feel like I'm being pulled apart, from the inside out. I'm not sure if I'm going to make it, out of this alive.
I feel distorted, like I'm not even real. I'm starting to lose my grip, on what's real and what's not.
I don't know how much longer I can keep this up, I'm so tired of feeling like this. I just want to be normal, I just want to fit in.
But I know that's not possible, I'm different and that's okay.
I don't need to fit in, I just need to be myself. And that's all that matters.
So I'm taking a deep breath, and I'm letting go of all the things that are holding me back, and I'm going to be myself, no matter what.
