My heart burned with the power of a million flames
And my blood pumped so fast it didn’t feel sane

I was breathing so quick my lungs couldn’t catch a break
How much longer could my body wait?

I can’t sit with my body still
This stupid feeling is quite the thrill

My whole inside is burning to ash
I, no doubt, am about to crash

Pushed so much to be like everyone else
Yet also expected to be myself.

I’ve never felt this feeling before today
And I just want it to go away.

I wanted so much to cry and take off the mask
But I was supposed to be so much stronger than that
