Anxiety

Everyone is staring

You're trying so hard to stay standing

But your heart is racing

Instead of walking straight

You start wobbling

 

Your eyes begin to strain

You start feeling as if you just gained a lot of weight

Your heart sinks as you run away

You have to hide

 

You musn't let them see

The you that is scared to be seen

You feel like you can't even breathe

Your lungs are tightening

As you sink down against a wall

and take into the fetal postion

 

Just cry, maybe someday it'll be alright.
