Anxiety:I can't I can't
My toes curl
My stomach clenched
Blasting music way too loud to drown it all out
Thoughts whirling around my head telling me it's too much, emotions overflowing with doubt
I'm not doing enough, I'm wasting time
It's never enough , the clock telling me i will never catch up, chime by chime
Trying to distract myself from what I think are my failures and insecurities
The anxiety I'm not proud of keeping me up at night
Not letting me fall asleep, replaying conversations in hindsight.
Instead thinking about all the ways I come short
It will never be enough, all of my self-doubt agrees
Finally falling asleep becoming exhausted from the energy my anxiety takes from mePlease vote and comment!
