Anxiety


Will you think I am brokenIf I just rant about my life?


I don't want you to see me as weak orbroken because if you do then I can't change it and that image is stuck, unmovable in the mind.


I hate being considered weak. Emotions are dangerous because they hurt you or others. How can I be saved from the devastation 

of having someone pity me.


Of being labeled as broken. I wish I could stay unchanging and strong as the ocean.


But the ocean is constantly changing which creates its strength. It thrashes and breaksbut is not considered shattered.


Could I be like that? Could I be safe in waters cold embrace? Or am I drowning, unable to breathe?
