Anxiety
is not a joke
You can't snap out of it
You cant calm down
You can't just breathe
You can't just stop
Because
Panic attacks leave you broken
Panic attacks leave you shattered
Panic attacks leave you desperate
Panic attacks leave you battered
Depression
Is not a phase
You can't get over it
You can't stop thinking
You can't survive
You can't be strong
Because
It leaves you shaken
It leaves you dead
It leaves you numb
It leaves you like lead
And you are no more
Because
You're not your disease
You don't deserve to be
Something weak
Because
Despite what people think
You're strong
And
Nothing
Can
Change
That.
You don't have to prove
Yourself
To anyone
Because
You're you.
