a found poem

I'm so scared.
We lie to ourselves.
My heart is beating like crazy &
We lie to ourselves.
I am having trouble breathing.
We lie to ourselves.
The trouble I'm in keeps looking bigger and bigger
We lie to ourselves.
I'm overwhelmed by it
We lie to ourselves.
It's crushing me
We lie to ourselves.
When the lights went out,
We lie to ourselves.
I think I heard someone crying in the darkness
We lie to ourselves.
Maybe we are here because
we lie to ourselves.
