SocialAnxiety
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
