A weight on my chest,
Walls collapsing on me,
Claustrophobia setting in,
Losing breathe,
Losing time,
Losing everything.
Then my eyes open.
Sun is shining,
Not a cloud in the sky.
Air as fresh as can be,
I am my own worst enemy.

The author's comments:
This was inspired by the fact that I tend to cause a lot of unnecessary problems for myself that don't really exist and I think many teens can relate to that.
