Anxious

eyes pierce harder when they’re looking

glances darting all around me

was it something I said?

is it who I am?

I guess it’s funnier from where you’re standing

but from out here,

I missed the joke

and this is my crash landing

I didn’t want to

run away from home

Everything they say is personal

it’s like I’m just going insane

and you’d think my fixing would be simple

but all i feel is pain
