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
