Society

Society

Tick tock tick tock
my mind focuses on the clock.

I know soon I will be
in a place called society,
to the edge with anxiety.

My chest hurts and I can not breath.
Does anyone else see whats happening beneath?

Wait! Stop! Take a deep breath.
I shouldn’t feel like I am playing with death.

Take a second to regain control
before my mind sinks down below.

The noise, the crowd, seem to much to bear.
I remind myself not to care.

All of this is in my mind.
I should not do this, time after time.

Almost done, almost through,
but now I feel almost blue.

A trip outside take so much strength.
I feel like I have to go great lengths.

But all of this is inside my head.
My brain by which my anxiety is fed.

Will I ever obtain that power?
Or will these emotions continue to devour?

All I can hope is one day this will cease
And being in society will come with ease.
