Under this mask

For anyone that goes through anxiety and panic attacks, you know this struggle

Under this mask

Under this skin

I feel the rush,

The feeling in my chest

My mind is lost in this place

One breath two.. three

It won't stop

Smile it will all get better they say

It is all in your head they claim

Resist the urge to have these feelings they mention

One part of me looks at everything and doesn't feel the need to have the anxiety

The worry

This happy face you see..

This smile that makes anyone's day seem better

Just a simple mask

A mask that shows how strong I try to seem

When in reality it is just a mask of what really lies underneath..
