Anxiety Blind

Matthew Zagorski 1986 (NY)



Were there things in my mind that I had to find?
Not standing my ground?
Anxiety blind?
Would I not do something if somebody saw it in fear that the group that they’re with would appall it?

Or Maybe you’re watching and can’t wait to tell.
The person beside you, “that you know so well.”
That you have just read the Stupidest shit!
Your demons fly out of your mouth as you spit.

Just take you some time to reflect on your actions when mindlessly scrolling through mindless distractions.

Waiting to see if they like what you like and liking the things that you think your friends like.
Liking the things for a likeness in you will drown you in hatred.
A hatred in you!
If you’re constantly liking the things that you like you won’t have to click it.
You’ll get back your sight!

You could use these words.
You can put them in a song.
Get rich and get famous.
Crowds singing along.

If you don’t learn these lessons
than you’ll get them all wrong.
Not saying I’m right.
I’m Just saying what’s wrong!

If you can change the vibrations and give out some hope.
I can leave this one here on a positive note!
