I WISH

I wish I wasn't so anxious,
Of every little comment or stare,

I wish my brain didn't think the worst the moment someone looks my way,

I wish answering questions,
Didn't make me feel scared,

I wish I didn't overthink,
Every message I sent,

I wish I wasnt so awkward,
in groups of more than three,

I wish I didn't fear saying the wrong the thing,
So much I didn't say anything at all,

I wish I could stop lying,
That I don't really like talking,
When Im really just afraid of everyone laughing

I wish I could rhyme properly,

And at least let this sound musical,

I wish I could write with confidence,
And not take criticism so badly,

I wish I could let go of all my worries,
And believe it's all in my head,

But at the end of the day,
My head wins,
And it's back to making wishes.
