"i'm never alone cause i have me"

this was the second time today i was telling myself this

i say it all the time but feel it almost never

"i'm never alone cause i have me"

i breath out for the third time as if trying to calm my anxiety

and barricade my worries behind seven simple words

"i'm never alone cause i have me"

repeat on repeat it replays in my head

like a broken record haunting my thoughts

except it's supposed to bring me peace and serenity

"i'm never alone cause i have me"

"who's there with you?"

my anxiety yells at me

as if challenging the very words i use to keep it at bay

"i'm never alone cause i have me"

i yell and scream and yell and scream

but the sound proof walls of my depression keep me voiceless

"i'm never alone cause i have me"

if only that were true i'd sigh in relief

but all that exists

is words.
