I get these feelings sometimes
It feels like I'm going to blow up
Like I'm going to break down
And I don't think I would be able to piece myself together again if I let it happen
It starts in my throat
Feeling like it's closing up and I can't breath
Then it moves to my legs
Like they're stiff but moving them doesn't help
It goes to my shoulders too
Feeling like they're tense
But also like I need to tense them more
It goes behind my eyes last
Feeling like it's going to try to push tears out
I'm lucky
I can push them down
Pretend it's not happening
