Why can't I just be normal

Getting to the door and freezing
What if I don't know anyone
What if I can't breathe
What if I don't know how to get out
What if I'm by myself
The fear that hits me so hard
Why can't I just be normal
That pit that grows in my stomach
I can't imagine what it's like
To have so much confidence
To not care what people think
To be able to do anything
Why can't I be normal
Why can't I go places without being scared
Why do I have to be so scared
No pills, no doctor, no one understands
The feeling that something awful is going to happen
It stops you from doing what you love
The fear you just can't shake
Why can't I just be normal
