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
