||My Restless Mind||

Encumbered by my restless mind, 

A unique realm, one of its kind

 Always haunted by the shadow of fear,

 Life's path ahead, crystal clear

Nervous whispers, a grip uncontrolled,

 Within the mind, a cavern unfolds

 Social spaces, a labyrinth of unease, 

In fear, my words hesitate with ease

A silent scream, echoes unheard,

 Peer pressure's weight, my vision blurred

 Sleep eludes me, hours stretch long,

 In the shadows, where I don't belong

Alone, I dare not tread, 

Fear's companion, a constant thread

Overthinking echoes, a relentless spat, 

"Do they perceive me as this or that?"

I yearn to silence these thoughts, it's true, 

Perhaps someone, somewhere, holds the clue

 A helping hand to guide me through,

 A lifeline cast in the darkness's hue
