Anxietys hostage

I want to scream, I want to cry,
Some days, I just want to die.

I feel so alone in a world with many,
But not a single one understands, no one, not any.

I hide behind this smile that's painted on,
Trying to act happy, even when I feel so alone.

There is so much pain behind my eyes,
Having to cover my sadness with so many lies.

I succeed in holding back my cascade of tears,
Only to find that it adds to my fears.

Fear of people not letting me be,
Knowing that my anxiety imprison me.

A hostage to depression and anxiety,
The fear of not being accepted by society.

So many fears seems unreal,
To believe in relief is so surreal.
