Does anyone else feel sad people watching?
On watching how complex each human is.

I felt it creeping. I couldn’t stop it.
It was a large wave, a heavy one. I watched as it crashed in my head.
Everything around me constricted, my mind went into a spin.. I was locked into this body of mine - claustrophobic in my body, at the airport. Trapped. All sense and order was replaced with irrational chaos and whirlpool. I couldn’t breath.
