Dear Anxiety Attack

"I feel the spiders under my skin,

My heart is beating fast

Dear sanity, dear comfort,

You've left my side at last.

dear freedom, dear peace,

Were you by me far too long?

You told me I was worthless,

But now I know you're wrong.

You told me I was in pain,

Told me I'd be punished bad,

You told me tears were nothing,

And I deserved to be sad.

Dear anxiety,

You told me I couldn't breathe,

But now I know you lied.

I was in pain, I was in fear,

But I never should have cried

I let you defeat me,

Stuck your claws into my pride.

I knew it's just another phase,

I knew that soon it'd pass

But every word you told me

Was like stepping straight on glass.

But now, today, I am stronger,

And I vow to get you back

I've returned for a rematch,

Dear anxiety attack."
