amygdala

O Amy, what is wrong with me? 

I jump at the slightest sound. 

My heart races, and I can’t slow it down. 

I clinch my jaw and bite my nails. 

Nobody understands why I’m going off the rails. 

Nobody understands, I don’t like it either. 

I want to crawl out of my own skin. 

Shed that life behind me, and start over again. 

I long to feel anchored. I want to feel secure. 

But, I will leave, of that I am sure. 

Fight or flight, that is all I know. 

It’s deep within, no matter how much I grow. 

O Amy, you were designed to save me. 

Nobody understands, you’re also what is killing me. 

O Amy, why can’t you see what you are doing to me? 

Please stop. I am safe now. 

I am throwing out my anchor. 

I don’t want to fight or flight anymore. 

O Amy, why can’t you see? 

You are no longer valuable to me. 

I am down on my knees, 

Begging you please, 

O Amy, let me be.
