anxiety

Why do I suffer from this anxiety
This overwhelming feeling growing inside of me
Completely introverted, missing the outside of me
Is It my fault I feel like an outcast to society

As I walk past the other citezens
I wonder what's going on inside o'them
What are they thinking, what's attracting their gaze
do they feel like me, do they feel so displaced

You see I've never been a social butterfly
stayed below the radar, kinda just fluttered bye
directionless like a broken rudder I
Stray off course till I'm lost and left to die

But I do try, attempting to climb
Some sort of mountain to lift my spirits high
I, try to make some sort of accomplishment
But half the time the journeys seems to rough and I just
Get lost in it

i dont see a point in writig if im not honest about the topic im writing about. my soul purpose when i write is to let people who read, or hear it know me better, as well as trying to know myself better

I used to be this way till I

I used to be this way till I learned it just makes me miss out a hell of a lot it made my life nothing for too many years and each day I took a risk, a small one to change it, sometimes it worked and I took more risks and sometimes it didnt and I'd slow down bait but it sucked my life away so I started again... Roller coaster but here I am confident and happy holding down 3 jobs one full time... Funny thing this anxiety I only get it now when I've been really fucked over, or when there's too much on... Great mind opening write to the condition great share! Thanks!
