Wonder if there's a way to end my unrest;
One of the many things I've come to detest.
Maybe it'll be the thing that'll swallow me whole,
Would someone even care enough to cajole?

Deep down, I know they do.
Yet ask myself, why take it misconstrue?
An endless pool of insecurities and antagonism;
Only if it were just logical positivism.

Read just enough of psychology,
To understand this bleak ideology.
Know that I need help, but not brave to ask;
Instead conjure myself a mental casque.

Perhaps they'll think I do it for attention,
As if that'll bring me any satisfaction.
Although I don't mind the lack of judgement,
Instead of the mindless pungent.

Doesn't no one ever notice this?
Am I such a good actor that you dismiss?
How long 'till I slip off the sailboat?
Wonder if I'll stay afloat.
