ANXIETY


Eyes all on me

Anxiety pumping up in my veins

That twitching or itching in my neck

And all wide eyes on me

 

Stop

Please

Stop

Please

 

I can hear your thoughts

All those icky filthy thoughts

About me

About what I am...and how I am

 

Stop

Please

Stop

Please

 

Is it just me

Naw it's you

Judging me

With all those wide eyes on me

 

Suffocating me inside

Destroying me outside

Teeth grinding

That twitching or itching in my neck again

 

Stop

Please

Stop

Please

 

Lord save me

Take me away to your world

Where all those big wide eyes

Aren't all on me

 

Judging me
