Anxiety

I feel a thousand eyes staring me down,

As I made my biggest mistake. 

I see the irritation in their eyes

As my confidence started to break.

I feel a thousand hands pushing me down

And suddenly I cannot breathe.

They all laugh and ignore my pain

I'm hiding the truth that lies beneath.  

A salty tear rushes down my cheek 

As the fire roars ahead.

They walk over me and my pain 

And my stomach fills up with dread.

They walk away and neglect my problems

pretending I don't exist.

I know I want to leave this school  

Knowing I won't be missed.
