Amidst all the chapters unfolding a new
The inflicted struggles and agony triggered in a cue
It brings back tragic memories that's gotta be sewed
Shivers down my spine, on repeat in my mind, I hope it is not true

Anxiety's killing me inside
I wish I could turn up the tide
Distract me from being weary
This feeling feels very ******

The subtle mannerisms that I show
Indicates my state of mind to my foe
Scary, how I can share everything in the low
And be caught in a trap like a doe

It's been a while since I felt this vulnerable
It feels like being naked like a fool
Self-control I want to muster up if I'm able
Am I just a tool?

My heart banging up like a drum
Self-talking to myself like a dumb
I can't seem to lay myself to sleep
Overthinking, my brain's thinking too deep
