Chelsy Gonzales Poet Couplet

Anxiety

I feel like I'm locked in this room full of people, but there's no one here to talk 
And I feel so completely alone, with everyone there to mock

And it kills me to know that the people that I thought I knew 
Have torn me down so fast, So I refuse to let them through 

And they can't even notice me, I'm like a forgotten joke
I'm screaming my lungs out, They feel like they've filled up with smoke 

It's like I've been backed up into a corner and this has all stripped me of my voice
I'll try to speak up again but I'm blocked out by all this noise 

So woe is me, shattered, feeling like a disgruntled mess
Yet there's absolutely no one here to know it, but I've tried my very best 

Here they are, all making conversations, so filled with question and response 
I want so badly to join in, but my heart is filled with too much loss
