Don't look at me for too long.
Please
Don't look at me
Don't notice my flaws
Because they're the only thing I see.
A thousand thoughts whirring
Constantly sounding
Rattling around me
Do I look okay?
Do I look fat in this shirt?
People are looking at me
They're going to notice me
Everyone is judging me
I'm so ugly
I'm so ugly
I'm not skinny enough
I'm not pretty enough
I'm not smart enough
I'm not enough
Constant worry
Constant pick pick picking at yourself
A knot always in the pit of your stomach
Every word hurts
Each syllable,
expression,
action,
is over-analyzed
to the point where
my head is hurting
and everyone hates me.
And I'm crazy and stupid
Because anxiety isn't real
It's all for attention
Stop lying
Stop faking
Stop crying
It's not real!
Please
Don't look at me.
