Speaking out vs my anxiety
Conversations surround me
They start an argument and I know where I stand, truly
The moment I want to speak the words get stuck in my throat I'm unable to speak freely
The voices in my head start shouting overwhelmingly
Will I be judged, berated or excluded for my thoughts which I feel deeply
What will they think of me if I disagree
I end up shrinking back in my corner quietly
Better safe than sorry I think, every day while I disappoint not just them but also me
But it will happen over and over again until people think I have nothing to say while I stand apart sadly
