words unsaid

30//anxiety isn't poetic.

this is what anxiety feels like.

i talk, i talk
but i heard no words
nothing that makes any sense,
nothing important
be quiet, i tell myself
you sound ridiculous
and no one cares.

im silent
i listen to conversation
and keep my voice unheard
speak up, speak up
or they will think you're mute
say something normal
you awkward quiet bitch.
