Anxiety
Worried
Scared
Hesitant
That is how I feel
24/7
Life sometimes feels unreal
I’m apprehensive
About what will happen next
Why can’t I live normally
Everything is complexed
My trouble mind is like a maze
I’m constantly lost
I feel like I’m in a haze
But at what cost
“Just don’t be nervous”
People say to me
I wish that’s how it worked
I’d easily agree
At night I can’t sleep
I’m so uneasy
Why am I so nervous?
It makes me queasy
But on the outside I fake it
Like an actress in a play
Put on a fake smile
And just make it through the day
So to you I look just fine
Like life in under control
But on the inside
I need to be consoled
So when you ask me how I am
I will simply lie
I will say I’m great
But truly I want to cry

This is a personal piece to me. I've struggled with anxiety since a young age. People don't understand what it is, and I think it's important that they do. Anxiety can make everyday life super challenging.
