My anxiety, and the best way to describe living with it |
You're dying on the inside But to them you seem the same You want to leave your body For a freedom you can't tame You don't know why you'll die tomorrow You simply know you will And if you drive too far, too fast It's someone else you'll kill Upon the morning arise the new yet your fear remains the same and you know for a fact you will be punished should anyone call your name You tremble and cry and hide your face From the ones that look at you And since you were small, you didn't know why Those eyes all followed you Sometimes you give in to it And cannot leave the room Back and forth you shall pace Belieivng you are doomed Your mind is so preoccupied You cannot focus on the now You want to brush your teeth But can't remember how There's a place of sanity It's just beyond your reach You've tried to reach it but somehow find You fear your truth is breached You know this fear is a fear of something But there is nothing here to fear And you know it is illogical But they still whisper in your ear You know you are successful You know you've done nothing wrong You're sure that others love you But what if you are wrong? What if you did something You forgot along the way? And what if now, because of that Your punishment awaits? You realize life will go on No matter what you do And that this life will be alright But this knowledge does not help you It doesn't help to know That your car won't explode If your fear has no rhyme or reason And you are in fear mode So maybe there's an answer and Maybe there's a cure Maybe there's a reason That your heart is so unsure |
