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
