Does your mind ever take control?
Keeps you up at night,
making you put up a fight.
I worry about the littlest things,
exaggerating them to an extreme.
If someone's tone is the slightest off,
I think they hate me and don't want to talk.
"Am I being annoying?" I always ask,
I think I am, and should stop talking fast.
"They're lying" I keep thinking,
their probably not,
so stop worrying!
I can't rest at night,
without overthinking,
about everything.
I hate you anxiety,
for letting you control me,
and the rest of our society.
