21.10.2018                                              Sensory overload


I struggle with crowds when I’m sober

I go between wanting attention

and wanting to disappear

All the while I am craving connection 

I see everyone smile, having fun 

And how I long to be with them 

Enjoying our lives while we’re young

but no one is  engaging

and I don’t feel like forcing it

I don’t feel like conforming by speaking to a guy just because he’s fit

And they talk abour art

in a self obsessed bubble 

I’m already worn out

when I take another tumble 

Someone is shouting

someone is talking too loud

and I just can’t stand the sound

I just can’t stand the sound

The light is too bright

and my bag is too heavy

and Im trying too hard to

convince myself I love it
