More Than Polite

I Think I Need A Dr

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

I don’t want to be a victim

in a scenario I created

Always bending to the system

Because everything around me is related

Planning the future in advance

So that I don’t get in the way

In every single circumstance

My anxiety is on display

What I thought was being polite

Turns out, comes from a darker place

Politeness is my night light

So I’m always saving face

If I can keep myself in check

Then I am never out of order

I am always sticking out my neck

A full on supporter of my disorder

So, if you see me struggling

Go on and smile, then walk away

I’m simply working through pretending

That everything will be okay
