My lips are moving but my brain is not I've got my smile handy, I'll never be caught I'm nervous but it'll never show on my face I'll pretend I fit, I belong in this place. My hands aren't clammy, I don't have a stutter My voice is steady though my legs are rubber I'm sitting down, no one gets to see I'm nervous, I'm unsure, but I can fake happy. I'm an actor, a professional, I'm perfect at what I do I'm smiling, I'm laughing, but, god, how I hate you. I fly through moods as though it's my sole purpose I go by an alias so no one knows I wrote this. I'm nervous, I'm nervous, I'm ******* terrified But far be it from me to be typically traumatized I'm a 'survivor', I'm doing just fine, I'm not panicking I'll never display the bad moments publicly.

Nervous
My lips are moving but my brain is not I've got my smile handy, I'll never be caught I'm nervous but it'll never show on my face I'll pretend I fit, I belong in this place.
