anxiety and me

Social anxiety,
Caused by society,
Giving me the dubiety,
Of talking in front of a group of people,
Because I feel as if I'm a beetle,
Being dissected by a needle,
And there are times where I can't breathe,
It's as if the weight of the world is crushing me,
And the people around me can't see,
How much I'm going through anxiety,
Rather than piety.
But they will never know,
Because I have to put on a show.
