Sometimes I forget to breathe.
The world becomes a bit too much.
Trying to calm a racing heart underneath,
In order to relax and such.

Everything inside shuts down.
My brain goes blank and bare.
Body slowed by heavy gown,
Woven from threads of despair.

And when I blink back to reality,
I inhale with bizarre surprise.
Thoughts flood the once empty,
Now a place where peace dies.

No one seemed to notice, no one seemed to care.
That I had ever left. Or was never really there.
