Poem -

As I nervously pace

Another sleepless night that wasn't drug induced

The insomnia on top of the anxiety has me disoriented and confused

I feel you all watching as I nervously pace

You can't comprehend what it's like so wipe those smiles from your face

I know to others I seem crazy but really I am not

Its just my mind never shuts off and reality frightens me a lot

My mind convinces me their all laughing but I know that's not the caseΒ 

I'm tuning out reality so back and fourth again I nervously pace

Unless you have my condition you will never know my pain

To never gather socially because I'm borderline insane

A few moments in my shoe's you simply could not take

To live with insomnia and anxiety was a choice I didn't make

Once again tonight I will lay suffering while the world around me is asleep

I've become immune to sleep aids and it's pointless counting these imaginary sheep

Welcome to my world go ahead laugh if you must

Ignorance is Bliss and in society I have no trust

If the world would educate themselves on mental disease the suicide rates would drop

My prayer is one day all the ignorance will stop

I'm so glad I amuse you as I nervously pace

But if you lived inside my mind for just a second it would wipe that smile forever off your face
