Shame me for my anxiety,
Treat me bad for being quiet,
Talk down to me when I'm depressed,
And then you ask me why I'm silent.
You're angry at me for panicking,
Make me feel like I'm an alien,
Treated like an outsider,
All the time, daily and
All I want is to be my true self,
Cause authenticity is key,
But I fail to be who I am,
I fail to act like me.
I'm sick of being judged,
By family, guests & strangers,
Now every time I'm around people,
My brain thinks I'm in danger.
I don't know what to do,
And I don't know how to change,
My life doesn't feel like a life,
It just feels like a game.

You think that you know me,
When really you don't,
Can you spell out my full name,
I'd surely guess that you won't,
Do you know all my talents,
Or the passions I hold,
Or the places I've been,
Or the stories I've told.
Have you walked in my shoes,
Or the boots on my feet,
If you want to know me,
Come here and take a seat.
Don't listen to gossip,
That oozes from the slandering tongue,
Because they only do that,
When they want me to have no one.
It's jealousy that causes that,
So don't give a listening ear,
Ignore what they say,
Cause it only makes them sneer.
If you want to know me,
Ask me & not them,
Because what comes out from their mouth,
Is what they make up in their own head.

Hey, how are you?
Oh I'm fine,
But what I really wanted to say was my mental health has started to decline,
And all these anxious thoughts they wrap around my brain like thorned vines,
And if I treated you the way you treated me, you'd be at ground 0,
Not at cloud 9,
Look up at the clock there yeah, see that... look at the time,
How would you like to be made feel bad getting up late because of a tired mind?
Everybody ******* out of me while I'm struggling, they can't be kind,
Passing indirect remarks and crossing the line,
Bragging about their lives & counting the dime,
Sneering & leering cause they 'wouldn't want mine',
So don't wonder why I'm down in the dumps,
Because in my life I've hit a lot of bumps,
And you've been mean when I fell down,
You didn't care & then you ask me how I am.

You ever feel so stressed,
Where right inside feels so compressed,
And you feel like a mess,
And life feels like a test,
And you can't just leave the nest,
And you always feel depressed,
But it just means 'deep rest'
And with online, you become obsessed,
With perfect lives, & it's a pest,
Telling you just how to dress,
But I guess, the algorithm won't take a ****** rest.
Telling you exactly how to look,
Be like the ones on magazines & books,
Go ahead & have a look,
Be like 'Brittney *****' or Brooke,
All the happiness it has took,
Aim for perfection, skinnyness and looks,
You don't wanna end up lookin like that lad captain hook,
Drinking all his gold away in his hideout & nook.
No one cares unless you got luck, money, confidence & bucks,
If you're suffering, "oh that *****"
They push you straight into the muck,
Their the hockey stick & you're the puck,
It can feel like you're really stuck,
But when you are struggling,
You'll see the ones who actually don't & do truly give a ****.

I won't forget how you treated me,
deceitfully,
& talking all the time behind my back repeatedly,
Running with your mouth, bring me down purposely,
For your own gain, but do you know your hurting me?
All the times you said hi & then greeted me,
But when you turn your back, you don't care, deleted me,
Just because I'm struggling don't mean that I'm below yee,
I'm grown up now, I cop onto things & I don't watch balamori,
Do you really think I forget things,
Do you really think I'm Dory?
Just please go away from me,
If you are treating me poorly.

Never underestimate the person that I am,
And never doubt my intelligence just because I've got shaking hands,
And never question if I'm good enough,
Because we all come from up above from that man,
And never say I'm stupid,
Or that I'm less than,
Never say you understand,
But don't reach out a hand,
And never pretend to be my friend,
If you never really can,
And never hurt someone just to be popular & have fans,
And never judge a book by it's cover,
If you don't know God's plan.

I'd rather a dog,
Because they do not judge,
They don't scoff at your downfalls,
Or hold onto a grudge.
They walk beside you,
And snuggle into your arms,
They are happy to see you,
And bark at anything that alarms.
They are loyal & loving,
And love you for you,
They don't talk behind your back,
Or treat you like poo!
They love being apart of your life,
And stay til the end,
Sometimes animals can truly make,
The best of friends.
