There is a monster settling deep within me A bottomless pit it has formed I struggle from day to day My body always freezing and locking I wish I were like the wings of birds Instead I am the shackles that weighs my own self down I hate when people stare at me They're all critiques They are silently judging me for the very breath I take I hate being put under the spotlight Like a grain under a microscope Or an ant under a magnifying glass I like to be alone The anxiety disappears when I am alone Please help me get rid of this anxiety It is eating me alive from the inside out.
