Anxiety And Depression Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBEFGHCIJKLHMHNOO PHQRHSKHTUVWO

I lay in bed not having the energy to get up or speakA
I can feel my eyes start to water and my cheeks get redB
I hear footsteps outside my door but I don t call out I just turned overC
Just wanting to be alone so I don t hear that get up you're fine lecture againD
They don t understand what happens in my headB
They wouldn t last a minute with my thoughtsE
I can feel my chest get heavy my stomach start to hurtF
Gradually you close your eyes and breathe hoping this isn't a curseG
I tend to compare myself to others but why so I can feel unhappyH
I don t want this pain anymore as I rehearse in the mirrorC
I'm lost in all the emotions and thoughts that make me feel like I'm about to drownI
Most people don t know the feelings you hold onto or the guilt you haveJ
Always being on edge because you don t know who s watchingK
I can t help but say I wish I were differentL
I look up at the stars asking God why can t I be normal and be happyH
I try to take a walk but I can t seem to enjoy itM
It s like someone took every inch of happiness out of my bodyH
I just feel numbN
Most people my age would go drink to stop the thoughts but I just wanna runO
I try to take meds but who wants to do that their whole life I'm just doneO
Why can t I get a break My head is pounding and I can t go onP
The walls feel like they're closing in ready just to squish meH
I'm not sure how to tell my parents their daughter isn't happy anymoreQ
I'm not sure how to tell my friends I don t know how to deal with thisR
The smile on my face is always fake so you don t have to worryH
The laughs are fake so you think there is nothing wrongS
But the world can t see how bad I'm hurting or too many people will start worryingK
I try to hide behind a fake smile a fake laugh so nobody can see the battles I carryH
I look at myself and ask am I okT
My parents ask why im never home and always busy because then I don t have time to thinkU
If you don t have to think then thoughts don t build up or even come to mindV
But I think the days of me running from my problems are over you can only ever run so farW
But me personally I think im just doneO
