Trying to run some errands, standing in a que, am I still afloat, oh no a dry throat.
Where's that pain, its in my head. Please take me home put me to bed.
Will I ever find peace, in a busy place.
Too much going on, too many faces.
Why is it so hard to breath.
Count the things that I can see, a babies laugh that eases me.
But noone here, really sees me.
Are we all just empty souls, trying to find our way back home.
I see things that others don't.
I see that woman's lonely ghost.
The essance around them screaming out, clawing to be back within.
No wonder my head hurts, so many voices.
At home it's loud enough with mine, the multiples I hold inside.
But when I'm out it's everyone.
It's everything.
I start to run I want to hide.
Why have you all chosen me.
Right now all I can do is flee.

Shopping
I thought my heart was failing
Hey you're ok, you seem to be still standing
Flashes appeared in the corner of my eyes, I saw the stars and I didn't ask why
Heard the voices and caught my breath
So close and yet so far from death
-Florence + the machine

Hi Tryingtostayafloat,
There's so much in this that so many could relate to. Beautifully written if you don't mind me saying so.
This is so relatable...

Re: Shopping
Shopping feels haunting, people feel haunting, thank you for describing it I didn't think about it like that but it's like I'm stuck in this place where I can see and everyone else is blind

Re: Shopping
That’s an interesting way to describe shopping but I can understand that perspective. Haunting really is a fitting word here.
