Anxiety
I’m lost in my mind
But I bottle it up
Lock it away
Not one word
Nothing to say
Can’t you see I’m dying inside
I want to leave I want to hide
One stutter on a word
One change in voice
Won’t mean a thing to you
But if you knew…
I’m screaming let me out
Hope has died
But you see nothing
I’ve died inside
Voice is gone
I use what I have left
I yelp
I beg for help
No one comes
No one hears
Why…
Because I make no sound
Lost in my mind but never found
Day after day it happens again
You wouldn’t know
I hide it away
Don’t want the darkness to infect more
I won’t let anyone in or…
You and I would both be alone
No matter how surrounded we are
No matter how close or far
I’m always alone
Just is never shown
