I could feel it.
The heaviness on my chest that felt as if there were 100 pounds on it.
I didn't think that it would happen.
But then again I didn't know.
My world had suddenly become shattered.
And to think I had actually had a good day.
I continued to finish up my hair, more sloppy than normal.
My chest felt as if it were going to collapse now.
I had never felt this bad before, it was scary.
Then again I didn't feel like it was going to actually happen.
My head was like a ping-pong match.
My emotions and thoughts going back and forth not sure what to do or think.
I finished doing my hair and proceeded to my bed and go to sleep.
With the lights finally out, I sat on my soft comforter and..
just sat.
Staring at nothing.
The blue glow from my iHome seeped onto the walls
creating a comforting blueish glow in my dark room, helping me feel not so alone.
I glanced at the clock, 11:30.
The room was quiet, I would have savored it if I hadn't felt this way.
I don't even know how to describe it properly.
And then I felt it.
That one tear, rolling down my cheek.
More came.
Then I started to think.
About my childhood how I'd seem to forgotten it until now.
How much regret, loneliness, and uncertainty I now realized filled most of it.
It hit me like a wave, it all flooding back to me.
It hurt
It hurt-so-badly.
My chest heaved.
Tears came flooding out.
Pouring like a river.
I wanted to scream.
But I wouldn't let my self.
It stared to get worse.
I was breathing so quickly now.
Too quickly.
I covered my mouth with my hands trying to muffle out my crying and heavy breathing.
I didn't want to wake my mother.
She wouldn't understand.
Memories of my childhood came rushing back.
I didn't like them.
It-hurt-so-badly.
I wanted to die from the pain I felt.
The loneliness.
I put my face into the covers.
I cried.
I cried so hard.
I sat up, my breathing was too quick now.
Or should I say my 'not breathing' cause' I barely was.
But I couldn't stop myself.
It was scary.
I could feel my throat start to close up.
I reached up and felt my neck, it was tight.
I suddenly regretted not wanting my mom to hear me.
I needed help.
I was shaking, badly.
I heaved and breathed so quickly.
My brain was like a lightning storm.
Going from one thing to the next.
Different thoughts, different memories.
It hurt.
I couldn't handle it.
It felt like an outer body experience.
I can't seem to do anything right.
I can't be that person people want me to be.
Eventually, my breathing slowed.
But the tears kept coming.
I looked at the clock, 12:20
I slipped under the covers, and plugged my iPod into my iHome and put on some nature sounds I usually fall asleep to.
The tears stopped .
I went to sleep.
I woke feeling numb.
I fully opened my eyes and saw my mom putting money for my lunch on my dresser, then she started to leave.
Mom?
Yeah? she said turning back.
I had a.... panic attack.
Last night?
yeah.
How come you didn't come get me?
I dunno, I lied. I knew exactly why.
Well, if you didn't come and get me you must've been able to handle it.
My heart sank.
It was the exact opposite.
She left.
I got up and started to get ready for school.
Where I would then go throughout the day and act as if nothing happened.
