Anxiety
My heart is pounding.
I start to sweat.
I know nothing out there can hurt me;
But in my head it already has.
How can I face all these people?
Am I being too needy?
Maybe I should say hi.
Maybe I should stay home.
How do I live in peace,
When the only world I can enter,
Is the one in my head?
One day things will be okay.
Thats what I like to tell myself.
Take a new step everyday,
Until you've walked so far you forget your fear.
