I Don't Know What to Do

I broke out of my bubble

Only to see misery outside it

I don't know what to do

Just existing is an act of rebellion

Everyone tries to trap me in a cage

I feel like I'm stuck

And don't know what to do

My body is warm with anxiety

And I don't know why sometimes

I feel so stressed

I'm holding stuff in

I'm shaking and I can't stay still

I don't know whether to smile

Or to show what I'm truly feeling

I don't think either is healthy

I got so much I need to do

And I don't know how to do it

I can't sleep at night

Because all my issues keep me awake

I feel like a fucking failure

Like I'm drowning in a sea of doubt

I let people down

And I don't know what to do

I shouldn't care what other people think

But I want people to like me

I don't want people to hate me

I want to be free, not a slave

I can't fucking concentrate

My mind does one thing

My body does another

I don't know what to do
