Just Another Poem Where I Complain

My heart hammers in my chest,
And I can barely breathe.
My head is pounding with a million thoughts per second,
My skin itches everywhere on me.

I want to cry but can't,
I am expected to continue on.
I want to break down and lose control,
I’ve been holding back for far too long.

I feel like I am drowning,
On the inside I scream almost daily.
Outward I am loud and bubbly,
And everyone believes my folly.

I can't take this anymore,
And they want to shut me up with pills.
I think my mind is falling apart,
Depression has my mind completely filled
