A wall of pain
While I walk through the halls
I make sure to keep my head low
Trying not to make eye contact
Quiet as can be
Many people don't know I have extreme anxiety
But only some of my friends know
It's really hard for me sometimes
But sometimes life gets hard
And its difficult to push through
It’s like a huge rock I can't push out of the way
Anxiety is always gonna be in the way of My life
some people say it’s nothing
But it’s not nothing
They only say that because they have never witnessed it
Anxiety makes everything difficult
Like for instance
While during a test I think to myself
The worst of things that could happen
I start to tremble and shake
Knowing I’ll fail I can only imagine how many more test I have to do
the school makes me have the most anxiety
And what people say stuff they shouldn't say
It can really affect people
Words can stick to people
Some People just don’t understand me
Anxiety is the feeling where
You think all eyes are on you judging you when no one is
Actually doing it.
Anxiety is the fear of a fear
It makes me feel terrible
First, I get a stomach ache
Then my head
It aches while I think of a million things that could happen
So many things cross my mind
While I can't even think straight
Then my whole body gets shakey
And I feel as if though I can't do what I like anymore
Because of anxiety
In class I am quiet
When the teacher asks a question
I never raise my hand
I'm terrified for the teacher to call on me
Thinking if I get the question wrong people will laugh
So I say nothing
My heart beats faster
And I can hear my heart through my head
I can't focus and start to get dizzy
When class is done I feel a big relief
Then wait for the next class to come
And again my anxiety comes back
Another thing that surrounds me with anxiety
Are people
Some people make me feel like
I'm a loser but
I only get anxious around certain people
My friends I don't get anxious around
But others I do get anxious around
I feel like they are judging me constantly
Even though they probably aren't
But yet that little bit of anxiety is still lurking
Around my head.
as many people would say
“Life will get better”.
Which I believe it will
With time and space
It will get better slowly but surely
I don’t want to get attention
I just wanna be me
Myself
With no worries
