Title: Anxiety
Feeling: Depressed, Anxious
Warning: None

Maybe I was unnecessarily hardened,
Chiseled and worn down by society
Spirit now downcast and deterred,
I am swallowed whole by anxiety

Who touched me liko no other did,
Caressed me with nothing but care
That kept its dangers from me hid
Until the time I could not bare

There the dams suddenly burst
Tears of unsettlement came out to play
So I screamed and said do your worst
For I know, there was no other way

I am tired and worn from everyday use
And it seems I can go on no longer
For happenings like these seem not to amuse
These bindings of mine that have failed to grow stronger

So on this day, I had had enough
I took a pistol that was heavy and rough
Put it up and next to my brain
As I laughed as my blood went down the drain

A whisper of terror came from inside
Yet the screams of victory made me decide
That this was the end meant for me
Who am I to deny? And I let it be
