Pressure

You feel yourself getting smaller as the six walls around you move in. No one else notices that your struggling as they go about their day. You wonder why no one comes up to you to try and help. Can’t they see you struggling? You feel the pressure building all around you. Your internal body temperature goes up while a bead of sweat sweeps down your forehead. Your knees come closer to your chest as the walls creep in and you feel your chest tighten. You take your last breath as you hear a voice. They want to know if you are ignoring them since you haven’t talked to them recently. You take a deep inhale and look around. The only six walls closing in on you are your own imaginary walls. But you’re not a mime, you can choose to break free.
