oxygen

 i cannot find the words 

to describe what it is i feel 

it's like you're gasping for air

in a sea of people

no one sees you 

or hears you 

it feels like you're choking but not quite 

does however make it better

to write it out

helps me face my feelings 

accept them 

and do nothing about it

it's a safe space 

? 

is it tho 

a state of mind it's defined

when your mind only does the thinking 

but this, it's a feeling

and the heart does the feeling, 

doesn't it 

if you're feelings are associated 

with psychology & neurology 

then why does it feel like 

a tight squeeze 

on that fist-sized organ of yours 

isn't it eerily beautiful
