Understand


You don’t understand

‘Cause I’m not like you.

Not everything has a reason

Somethings I just do.

 

I’m afraid of the world

Can’t you see?

I don’t do the things I do,

Because I’m cold and mean.

 

I’m terrified of the talk

Please don’t ask me why

To be honest I don’t know.

Please go, before I cry

 

My anxiety inhibits me

From telling what is true

Stop yelling at me!

I’m shutting down on you.

 

You just don’t understand

Can’t you just see?
I’m unnerved by your structure

Your tyranny it must be.

 

I know it’s not your fault

There’s no one to blame.

 Maybe walk a mile in my shoes,

So we can end this limbo game.

 

You say it’s only easy,

To spit out all the words.

You just don’t get it! Not one bit!

I want to run away.

 

You think I’m some ungrateful troll

But I’m grateful for everything

I’m just afraid to talk the talk

Because Anxiety is killing me

I have always loved to write, and poetry is my best and favorite way to write. I also love music and can play many instruments and also sing.
