Im Human
It’s getting harder to stay
The scars on my arm continue to fade
And my mind tells me maybe to add more
To place the scars on my heart, directly on my arm
To show me
I am not the same
I struggle with simple things
My senses don’t work the same
It makes me sad not being socially fluent
Around new people
And I've always been truly myself
I love to make friends
But whenever I try to talk my mouth seems to shut off
Anxiety seems to be something I brush off
I never thought it’s as serious as it is
But I go blank when too many tasks are given
When my mind doesn’t have time to take in information
When something sends me across the line of stability
I’m not the same
Everyone says it’s okay
But it’s not to me
I’ve never been okay
Even as a child
I couldn't calm down
And everytime I look around
Its always me, trying to get out
Before I freak out
