why does my breath hitch as i walk through a store
how can such simple actions make my blood boil
i can't even order a meal without my heart racing
all these silly things taking such a tole
as anxiety courses through my veins
i'm sure that i may look insane
i stare at the floor and pick at hangnails
i want to go, my mind keeps picking apart every detail
why are people looking at me
did that girl just snicker, please let me be
i have instant regret for each word spoken
i sound so dumb and my throat feels swollen
i'm tapping my foot and biting my lip
my mind is swimming, a silent cry for help
why am i always feeling this way
why can't i be normal, not filled with numbing anxiety
it feels like i'm drowning, yet trying to sprint
but i can't escape, my mind swimming, i quit
even as i'm home in the solace of my bed
i can never outrun these thoughts in my head

Poesíawords unspoken and lost, skittering away to plant themselves on paper. i'd love to hear feedback [it may or may not be vital for my self esteem]; thanks for taking the time to read my sad, silly thoughts. [lowercase intended.]
