Catch Up.

Location

6443 Bombax Ct.
United States

Heavy breath

Sweaty palms

Beating heart

Trembling fingers

Racing mind

Bloodshot eyes

I exhale.

I inhale.

Catch up

That's all I can manage

Catch up

I scream at my mouth

My lips shake as I reach for the door

Catch up

My eyes dart back and forth

Catch up

Why?

Why?

Why?

Mind is racing

I can't mumble a word

My feet seem to take me

My mind is oblivious

I'm still caught thinking

Why did I say that?

Was it too eager?

Catch up

They think I'm a freak

Catch up

Why did I say good morning?

It's clearly the afternoon

Catch up

They hate me

Catch up

They never liked me

Catch up

They think I'm stupid

Catch up

I inhale.

I exhale.

I...

Jump.
