Nervous: a to z of mental health

Nervous to tell people
Nervous that if I don't
They won't really get what
Is going on in my boat

Nervous of their reaction
Patronisingly upbeat
Which might be better
Than a pitying streak

Nervous of being shut out
By all the cool kids
Nervous of being shut up
Put in a box with a lid

Nervous of everything
Including myself
Nervous gets me nowhere
So I try to breath through
