I built this wall around myself
But now I wish to knock it down
For in place of true joy and happiness
Is a permanent frown

My insecurity and isolation
The cause of all my devastation
The bad of people blinds my eyes
For i see through every disguise

The tears rip apart my mask
But with noone around to see
For there is only one who truly knows of my pain
That only one is me

The stress I get when talking to a stranger
My heart constantly screaming "DANGER"
When online you think id fell secure
But the worry of it all is too much to endure

When walking home in aware of my surroundings
And in this anxiety I am drowning
I fell petrified when I see potential threat
Though these people I have never met

Im trapped in a cage of fear
For them i hide a painful tear
People don't tend to understand
I feel like I am stood in quick sand

On my own, all alone
But I never told them so how could they have known
I knocked my self to the ground
And my courage shall never be found
