My thoughts and feelings are overwhelming
Every second I feel like I'm drowning
My head is a tangled string yearning itself free
Like I said my thoughts and feelings overwhelm me

I am scared and I am scarred
I am my own destruction
I cannot function
I am not for discussion

Giving up sounds so easy
But regret? I'm not ready
Living is harder than it seems
Dying sounds like a dream

I don't know how much ink I will bleed
I don't know how much words I can think
I don't know how much my demons will feed
But it seems like I'm almost on the brink

Anxiety fills me as I write and as I paint
Anxiety drowns me in every aspect of my day
No matter how much I try to rhyme
I will never be a beautiful design.
