don’t mix coffee with caffeine pills

i’m shaking and paranoid
i know i should’ve ate

i can’t take care of myself
it’s always too late

i might vomit
i keep shaking
i feel my tummy aching

your sighs ring in my head
i cover my ears
it echos instead

you’re so caught up in yourself you don’t notice me shaking
you don’t notice me trembling
tears verging
sanity disassembling

my ears, they ring
i have to go away
i have to gather my things

you sigh to get one more ounce of satisfaction from my pity

i wish i had a fraction of your simplicity


how easy things must be for you
to think about one thing, or two
to not think and just do
how very simple it is to be you

Your poems speak to me... Having social anxiety and depression is something I can relate to well.. I understand the helplessness behind these lines .. I wish I had a fraction of your simplicity.. Becoz I have been living through it from so long... Beautifully expressed!!
