I'm quietly losing my mind
You wouldn’t know it — I look fine
But inside?
It’s fireworks in a padded room
Smiling in meetings
Dad of the year on weekends
"Doing great!" — my go-to script
Meanwhile, I’m glitching like a scratched-up disc
No tantrums, no yelling
But in my head, there’s breakdancing
Drums, thoughts, voices, heat
All that — beneath this hoodie, neat.
To not think, I move
To move, I breathe
To breathe…
I go a little insane
Every. Single. Day.
I’m quietly losing my mind
No panic, but my pulse don’t lie
Smiling soft, burning wild
Calm outside — chaos in style
There’s music in my meltdown
Rhythm in my routine
This isn’t breakdown —
It’s my private in-between
I’m quietly losing my mind
Not broken — just redefined
I don’t shout, but you’ll hear the sound
If you’re loud inside like I am now
You wouldn’t know it — I look fine
But inside?
It’s fireworks in a padded room
Smiling in meetings
Dad of the year on weekends
"Doing great!" — my go-to script
Meanwhile, I’m glitching like a scratched-up disc
No tantrums, no yelling
But in my head, there’s breakdancing
Drums, thoughts, voices, heat
All that — beneath this hoodie, neat.
To not think, I move
To move, I breathe
To breathe…
I go a little insane
Every. Single. Day.
I’m quietly losing my mind
No panic, but my pulse don’t lie
Smiling soft, burning wild
Calm outside — chaos in style
There’s music in my meltdown
Rhythm in my routine
This isn’t breakdown —
It’s my private in-between
I’m quietly losing my mind
Not broken — just redefined
I don’t shout, but you’ll hear the sound
If you’re loud inside like I am now
