Standing here on this stage, my palms are sweating and my voice is shaking

Can you tell?

Can you tell that aside from this anxiety and nervousness..that I feel this way everyday

I wonder why me?

Sometimes the feeling of being overwhelmed just smacks me in my face and I burst into tears

I don't wana eat

I don't wana go outside

I barely make it to class

Sometimes I don't even know how to feel

I just want to sleep my life l tragedy will I endure next?

The loss of a child has already cut me deep

Seeing my sister bald due to a demon called cancer kills me everyday

What will pull me down next?

All because of anxiety and depression am I feeling this way

I just can't wait for the day that I conquer this whole thing

Everything that has every stole my happiness

The day that I can smile and honestly be ok

And everything not be a lie, lying behind my anxiety and depression
