Why do I open my loud mouth?
Anxiety spikes
My body overheats
Why can't people let things be?
I feel so hopeless
I feel so alone
Why does everything feel so cold?
I want it to end
I'm tired of the pain
How do they always get me to cave?
I don't want to talk about it
Please stop asking
Is this feeling everlasting?
Go away
Ask someone else
Don't you understand it's not my business to tell?
You ask again and again
You pretend to be a friend
You pretend to understand
You pretend care is intended
You win
I spill everything I can mention
The pressure is gone
You don't have to ask anymore
But now I feel guilty and wrong
Worse than before
I wait for it to circle back around
Everyone will know
And I'm the bad one now
