I feel like I’m annoying
And my anxiety makes it worse
Knowing I’m overreacting
Still feeling like it’s a curse
Overanalyzing all the words
That I hear all around
Twisting their every meaning
And hating their every sound

Slowly, I open my car door
One foot out
Then the other
The cold winter air hits my face and hands
I keep a tight grasp on my camera
Right hand holding the right side
Left hand gripping the long-range lens

A verse for my marvelous mother
Who I love with all my heart
I can’t imagine having a mom
Who wasn’t nearly as smart

A verse for my fantastic father
Who I love so dearly
Life is never dull with you

I wish I could describe exactly how I feel about you
The word 'love' just doesn't seem enough
When I'm with you I feel like I can do anything
I've never laughed as much as I have with you
Just your presence is enough to make me smile

Feeling the grass underneath me
Staring up into the night sky
Marveling at its beauty

Wondering about everything and nothing
Never wanting this to end
Enjoying the moment

Feeling like everything is alright
