Shaking Hand and Scared Heart


Darkness creeps up my back - Sweat beads down my forehead - My hand shake and my legs quiver - My lungs can't keep air and I feel like I'm suffocating - My panic attack is setting in - And theres nothing I can do - Everyone is watching me - Watching me break at the seams - Everyone is laughing at me - I wish I could be normal - Everyone is laughing about how I'm so mental - My head is spinning - No one will accept my anxiety - Why did I come here? - They're all looking at me - Oh no please don't touch me - No one will ever accept me - I need to get out of here - But where will I go - Everyone is laughing at me - My brain can't think straight - Will they ever accept me? -
