A simple task
Is all they asked.
Effort and thought is what they taught.
So, head, why must you panic?
This task isn't even gigantic.
I go day by day,
As if there isn’t another isn't any other way
To handle my thoughts of imminent failure.
I can't tolerate my brain’s this behavior!
People think I’m crazy,
Even some say lazy.
But don’t they understand?
It’s anxiety by my own hand!

I try something once and fail,
Then decide to no avail,
I’ll never do it this time;
So why even bother to try?

You want a problem solver?
I’m not your girl to holler.
I over-complicate
Which causes some to hate.

Time for a test?
I have no best.
Things to do?
Confidence is a ruse.
Oh, what will I do!?
My thoughts and feelings go awry,
I'm always saying sorry.
Someday I wish to fix it,
For I always want to quit it.
I see some sort of complication,
And turn it into an altercation.
The way I live is no way to thrive,
For it’s so difficult not to hide.

I get overwhelmed beyond compare,
Always caught in the cross hair.
I over-think more than anything,
To the point of almost yelling.
What if that doesn’t work?
Could I possibly get hurt?
Do you think that this is okay?
This will never go my way.

I am taunted by my own self,
For not being able to help
What I do so naturally.
Oh, what a fatality!
