Can't Speak

by cilya   Mar 10, 2023


Don't feel offended if I can't look you in the eye.
There's nothing about you that I despise.
Don't feel upset if I cancelled with you.
Maybe next time, just another grumpy excuse.

Scared to ask for help.
Thinking they despise you.
Scared to make a move.
Believing they judge you.

They laughed...is it about me?
Everyone is staring what is it am doing wrong.
They are looking. is it me?
Is it about my hair or my eyes or everything.

Can't speak without feeling overwhelmed.
Can't speak without crying my eyes out.

    I feel like this will apply to a lot of people. Anxiety and overthinking can become one’s biggest enemy.

      This is so true!!! Getting lost in the rabbit hole of overthinking can be so difficult. It can take a huge toll on mental health. I've learned to let a lot go, to just enjoy life, at the end of each night, the mysteries of the universe are still hidden, The biggest questions of science are still left to study, the world is a beautiful mess.

    Nominated! The feelings you portrayed though out the poem were well written but heavy, as the reader I could feel everything that you put down, You never strayed from the poem at any time and I liked that, it made it easier to read.
