The feeling inside me
can't be found in a dictionary.
My thoughts are a wordsearch.
The letters are jumbled
and the words are hard to find.
My shoulders are tense,
my chest is heavy,
and my body doesn't want to move
but my eyes stay open
because when they dare to close
I dream of a better life
and I'm scared I'll want to stay there forever.
