Anxiety

My cheeks ache as I hold the same shy smile to make me look engaged, ‘you’re staring too hard’ it says so I tear my eyes away.

‘They’re watching you’ it states as I walk inside the store, ‘you’re walking funny’ it mocks as I step outside the door.

‘He doesn’t love you anymore’ it sings when he just wants some space. ‘Stop begging for attention’ it preys on the tears falling down my face.

‘You’ll never be able to do it’ it screams at the face of a new journey. ‘You’re too boring’ it laughs but I can’t hide that it hurt me.

‘You’re such a cry baby’ it whines when I won’t go to the store alone. ‘This is why you can’t make friends’ it whispers as I hide behind my phone.

‘Theyre looking at you’ it calls when a car pulls beside me at a light. ‘They can tell that you’re uncomfortable. Why do you always have to ruin the night?’

‘You don’t even know how to say hi’ it cackles in my face. ‘Oh no they’re talking to you, pick some words from your saved phrases’

‘You can’t get rid of me’ it says as my hands begin to shake. ‘I’ll always be right besides you’ my Mind begins to go blank.

‘I’ll hold you in your darkest moments’ my Arms start to tingle

‘I’ll wipe away all those tears that always seem to twinkle’

‘Just remember that youre not alone even on your brightest days. I’ll be here, not in every moment but I promise I’ll find a way’
