The top of my teeth are stuck to the bottom don't move, don't blink don't even think for it might be too loud stop looking at me why do you stare? I open my mouth to say something but the words aren't there I can feel the sweat fall my body shrinks to a microscopic size while everyone around me is so tall I can't even look at you in the eyes there is a weight on my chest and it's getting hard to breathe I just want to find rest but instead I'm starting to heave

Anxiety
You will always see her smiling nothing is ever wrong her true emotion is hiding and she actually sings the saddest song For everything is a struggle a day's purpose is to find true meaning but all that she's feeling is locked inside a shuttle she can't find meaning if she's lost with out all true feeling Every second, minute, and hour of the day her lips curve to the edges of her cheeks laughing, trying not to let the pain have it's way she knows at any time tears will leave their streaks every night there's crying every day the girl is slowly dying depression is rising and yet, you will always see her smiling

Corners of the mouth turned up
my brain and heart are at war all because our relationship is falling apart my heart aches for a you and me more than friends I don't want any other fish in the sea you were the fish I wanted most no one else, my emotions are locked in a cell because forever felt so close

Conflicted
*I can't look into, those eyes, eyes that I've learned will judge you, eyes, that will make or break you, no, please no. I can't look into those eyes,* **but I look you in the eyes, and every memory, or being laughed at is erased, all I see is your beautiful face, and maybe the laughing memories comeback, because all I think is, I wanna kiss you, and how much, your going to laugh at me, if I did,**

eye contact
Remember, when we were younger and we were scared of the monster in the closet? We never asked questions about it why it was there why the closet, of all places? we were too terrified But as we grew older some of us stopped being afraid because we knew it couldn’t hurt us why be scared of something that couldn’t hurt you? But some of us didn’t to some of us, the monster grew and it would attack us late at night Some of us weren’t afraid but later in life we confronted the monster again and all those years of work dwindled down the drain However, as we all grew we, at some point, accepted the monster sometimes welcoming it as a friend, someone to listen And as the days went by all of us growing older and finding ourselves, one day at a time, the monster disappeared It was like a weight off our chest we were sad it was gone, but happy all the same We could finally leave the confines of this place and breathe and laugh and smile maybe we were the monsters in the closet after all
