Constantly Walking On Eggshells

December 8, 2017

I can't find anything to say

I know what I mean

And I know how I feel

So why can't I

Construct an argument

Tear down a counterpoint

And fully articulate

Why I'm right

I have all the ideas

And all my points planned out

But that nagging voice in the back of my head

Wants opinions shut down

It won't let me talk

Out of fear

It hates ideas

And insecurity

Why should I care

But still

The voice inside my head

Tells me to get upset
