Anxiety Is drowning me My thoughts run ten rivers before I speak And even then my voice sounds bleak After each sentence immediate remorse I shouldn't have said that, not like that, ofcourse My palms feel sweaty My heart beats loud Im probably too quiet, too modest, too proud I think all your thoughts for you, the ones about me, Theyre always mean phrases Excruciatingly Berating I need to flee I wont look you in the eye Not for too long anyway My soul is something private Shallow depths i cannot give away I dont like you. Because youre a human. I dont like me. Because im me. I am never free To be human too, The same as you To just be able to breathe Thats all i need.. But The iron shackles keep mocking me I am chained to Social Anxiety
