I'm scared.

Of you, who so far outstrip me.
Of how you make me feel, when you do what it is you do.
Of myself, and how I don't find myself enough for you.
Of others, and how they must see how I am not good enough for you.
Of the past, because it dictates bad outcomes.
Of the future, because it is so uncertain.
Of the present, because I feel I keep fucking up.
Of everything, because it just scares me.

I'm scared.

Perhaps you are buried under the wait of your anxiety and you feel hopeless under it, like you can't dig yourself out. Like, the weight of it all just remains on you, holding you down, effecting what you do, making it difficult to keep going. That would be my guess.
