It's a funny kind of irony That I'm being held back-by me Countless people build me up and I knock myself down I'm alive, but I'm hardly living opportunities I'm missing crushes that I am not kissing since this little voice is hissing "something will go wrong no doubt" "no one wants to ask you out" "not good enough: your clothes, your hair" "just stay at home, you're safer there" I know this voice I know her well She ***** I tell her "Go to Hell"

I like to pretend my anxious thoughts come from someone else because it makes it easier to tell them to **** off
