People Scare The Sh*t Out Of Me

How's it going?

My mind: do I reply?

Should I say I'm fine?

I'm not fine

Today is not okay

There you go spiralling

Take it easy

Conversation isn't easy

What if I answer and that lights a spark?

This girl doesn't begin to now where to start

Should I go with fine

That's everyone's favourite line

Even if it's a lie

Then again society has us toe a fine line

Strangers don't really care

They ask and move on

So why bother?

It's not really as polite as we think

See I'm having social anxiety

I'm about to panic

Do I have to go through this dynamic?

Some will say people are mean

They say hi and others don't speak

Excuse me sir, ma'am

Whatever you identify

I'll respect it

Respect that I'm not going for mystic

I'm backpadelling no oars

Can't hit you with bars

This chick is up a creak

Why'd they walk up to me?

Why say anything?

People don't know how they scar the sh*t out of me
