I constantly cage myself
To the guilt and anxiety
That was present in my past
and the fear of tomorrow
I don't know how to break free
From the crippling moments
Of anxiety
The nausea that comes forth
The aching in my chest
Only amplifies
When I focus on the feeling
I self isolate to try
to understand myself
I am too afraid to reach out
So instead I close up my emotions
That way, I can't overwhelm
Or hurt others around me
