What Anxiety Makes Me Fear

I fear doing something wrong Speaking the wrong way Dressing the wrong way Acting the wrong way My lungs fill with rocks Heat runs through my body My heart beats too fast My limbs shake I fear being in trouble Talking when I shouldn’t Doing things when I shouldn’t Speaking when I shouldn’t My lungs fill with rocks Heat runs through my body My heart beats too fast My limbs shake I fear being wrong Answering incorrectly Acting incorrectly Doing incorrectly My lungs fill with rocks Heat runs through my body My heart beats too fast My limbs shake I fear judgement Speaking oddly Dressing oddly Acting oddly My lungs fill with rocks Heat runs through my body My heart beats too fast My limbs shake I fear commitment Loving someone forever Working a job forever Taking care of a child forever My lungs fill with rocks Heat runs through my body My heart beats too fast My limbs shake I fear independance Feeding myself alone Doing my taxes alone Living completely alone My lungs fill with rocks Heat runs through my body My heart beats too fast My limbs shake I fear ignorance Coming off as stupid Acting like I’m stupid Speaking like I’m stupid My lungs fill with rocks Heat runs through my body My heart beats too fast My limbs shake I fear other people Their anger towards me Their judgement towards me Their love for me My lungs fill with rocks Heat runs through my body My heart beats too fast My limbs shake
