Bright lights

It’s loud

Not the sound

But the lights

Everyone calling my name

Everything is going off in my brain

What to focus on?

There’s a problem everywhere

But my brain is not here

Somewhere looking at the bright lights

“Ooooooo…I’m blinded by the lights”

It take everything out of me

Whole body hurting

After clenching with fear

Am I doing everything right

How to do this?

What to say?

Who to call?

Brain shutting down

The day ain’t over

I have to keep going

Keep glowing

Brighter than these lights
