My Shitty Teen Angst Poetry

I Am 1 - Afraid

I am anxious and afraid

I wonder if I'm good enough

I hear the unending mocking that echoes in my mind

I see my future crumbling beneath my feet

I want to make the voices stop

I am anxious and afraid

I pretend that I'm strong enough to fight through it

I feel the crushing weight of the world on my chest

I touch the sky and try to breathe

I worry I'll never meet the expectations everyone sets

I cry at my thoughts

I am anxious and afraid

I understand that others have it worse

I say that doesn't mean I don't have the right to feel what I do

I dream to become someone better

I try to make that a reality

I hope that someday I can find happiness

I am anxious and afraid
