Here I am again,
Scared, Shaking .
Trying to hold it all in,
so nobody will see the truth,
that I'm actually breaking.

Here I am again,
trying to pretend, fix my mask, smile and act
like I didn't just almost crash.
Feeling the anxiety build up in my chest
the more I'm forced to act like life is just perfect.

Here I am again,
isolating knowing I truly need a friend
my fears won't let me get close though
because they always just leave you in the end

Here I am again trying to hold it all in and fighting to survive until the end.
