To be surrounded in a world of people

and you only hear silence.

You feel the stares and the judgment.

 You feel the stress slowly weighing down.

Not just stress of classes

 but everything.

You

without meaning

make everything your own issue.

You missed a due date.

You missed a message.

A phone call.

A meeting.

You don't like that one person.

 You don't understand that one concept.

You find family amongst people

you originally would never talk to.

The people who would

 turn their backs.

You lose connections

and make new ones.

 But, life goes on right?

You are just suppose to raise your head

 keep moving?

They tell you

you cannot cry.

They tell you

you have no reason

to feel the way you do.

They try to control you

from the throne they have built for themselves.

You

just look up smile,

turn,

walk out

feeling more free than you ever have before.
