insulated day

[Cadaverous Pallor]

just get through today
just one more day
earbuds, out of reach
those grabbing hands can't touch me

soothe me
favorite chair
favorite shirt
favorite lunch
favorite song
keep me from harm
remind me
I'm where I want to be
I have the final say
no one can tell me what to do
I want to be this way

can almost see my bubble
see the distorting transparency
sounds are muffled, expressions vague
lower eyes and shuffle past

some days it's about visiting this world
breathing new air
getting heard
but today it's about getting through
pressurized suit moves slowly

just leave me alone
just let me get through
sure I love all of you
just today, give me some space
