The lens from which I see

It's like looking in a mirror The actions all familiar The hands shaking The knees almost buckling Like a scene from a movie That hits too close to home Seeing it in a different light Makes for an interesting perspective From this view Looking a bit ridiculous Making me wonder Are my feelings overrated Is it all really a ploy For attention For acception I can't help how I feel Though I try to I try to hide it away To not make it affect my day But when it's all so clear To me And to them It feels burdening Like its all I am Like there's nothing I can do To change it all For them and for me When I see it all From a different view When it's not from me But it's all from you I can't help but hide it away My anxiety It hurts me But it hurts you too
