Please stop

Can the world stop for a second?

Stop spinning. Stop hurting. Stop being.

Just for a second though.

I just want to catch my breath.

I just want to breathe for a second and be able to catch up.

It feels as if everything is moving too fast.

Like everyone is keeping up but me.

I know it just seems this way,

But it feels like I’m alone in this.

And maybe I am?

Maybe that’s what I need to accept
