Anxiety

Anxiety

new friend
more attention
new rumours
new clothes
new life ahead
For her at least

squished
pushed
even ignored
anxiety grabbing
and back stabbing
me
Until I stop breathing

people believe her
don’t believe the truth
but believe her lies
All the time

Let it all out
They say
But it always comes back
Again another day

jokes she makes
are not funny
you must laugh
or else your fake

moving trucks
leaves already
friends sobbing
ring ring
phone calls
all the attention
on her
only

anxiety is like me
sad
depressing
And lonely.
