Walking on these hallways
Feels normal
But I feel like crawling
Sit up straight
Raise my hand up
Gotta keep my A's
Stand up
Tell everyone now
Eyes on me
Suddenly I'm drained of energy
Heat on ears
Stutter like I don't know how to talk
Back on year 2
When I was still on my ABC's
Keep it calm
Raising a hand is easier
Than to be sure of what I say
Everyone else in vicinity is oblivious
How dubious I am
On what is false and true
About me
About anything actually
They think I know it all
And Im always right
Truth is Im afraid to fall
On mistakes I might.
Rejection and failure
Keeps me up at night
What ifs consume me
It gets dark even with night light
My insecurities obvious to me
Shielded to everyone who wants to see
Damn I want to break free
I know this is not a big deal
But it is the life of me
Anxiety adds to insecurity
Kills the reality for me.
