Poem 14, by me

I'd do it if I could

If I was strong I'd face the world
I'd face the world, I would
But I know I'm weak, I'm much too bleak
I'd do it if I could

If I was strong I'd yell out loud
I'd yell out loud, I would
But my voice never works, my anxiety lurks
I'd do it if I could

If I was strong I'd fight back
I'd fight back, I would
But facing others is to scary, I burden I don't want to carry
I'd do it if I could

Instead I keep it in,
I keep a happy grin
But I really, really should....
I'd do it if I could
