It's funny, really

How it's brushed off by everyone

Everyone who doesn't hold it

Yet wanted by those

Who don't understand

Because it's not just worrying

Every now and then

It's not being nervous

When a new situation arises

It's being too scared

To leave the house

It's not being able to talk to people

Because your mind tells you

They hate you

It' a constant battle

All to feel normal

Not scared for your life

Every time someone touches you

And I'm on the frontline

Because as I talk to someone,

I don't even realize

That I'm grinding my teeth

Or scratching my forearms

Rubbing my feet together

Or focusing on anything but you...

Because if you can't see it

It doesn't exist.

Outta sight,

Outta mind.

Right?

Wrong.
