*Drowning in My Own Thoughts*
Pain growing. Hate forming. 
Fear building up.
These are the thoughts  controlling me.
Every second.  Every minute.
A shock wave of torture rushes through my mind. 
I feel like I’m being 
attacked when I begin to 
feel overwhelmed.
People tell me to be strong
and breathe through it, but
I can’t hear them when
I’m drowning in my own
thoughts.
