I Am Just Insane
OCD’s, anxieties, running through my brain
Don’t pay any mind to me for I am just insane
I am afraid of people and what they think of me
Am I what other people want and expected me to be?
I don’t think highly of myself and do not wear a crown
Negative thoughts and feelings always bringing me down
I try to be the best, to live up to expectations
But I never can quite get there, bringing me frustrations
I never was the coolest; I never was so smooth
To bring about the ladies without making a single move
I never was the smartest; I stare off into space
Within my group of peers, I struggle to find my place
I’m not a great example for others to adhere
Because my entire life is all controlled by fear
I’m not a great musician, not the best at what I play
I easily get stage fright; my confidence begins to fray
I am not as athletic as the best in all my team
Being strong or as fast as them is only just a dream
Sometimes I feel inadequate; an alien to the world
I feel inside my heart and soul are knotted up in curls
But are all these doubts inside my brain only just a scheme
A way for all my OCD’s to attack my self-esteem?
I do not know. I am not sure. Maybe I should seek help.
Or figure this all out on my own; there is no need to yelp
OCD’s, anxieties, running through my brain
Don’t pay any mind to me for I am just insane
