ANXIETY

It's like water that drowns me

The water is cold and unforgiving

Stealing the breath from my lungs

And they scream in response

Internally eroding what's left of me

Until I am a hollowed shell which bobs to the surface

And floats off, lost in the current

Which pulled me down.


It's like a cloud that suffocates me

Gray and stormy, churning and choking

Rain and tears mingle

The cloud fills my body

And pushes me from my mind

I am falling, plummeting to the ground

I can't breathe

I am full of it, devoid of all else


It's like darkness which blinds me

I can't see in front of me or behind me

Not beside me, only inside of me

And in there is darkness too

But darkness with burning uncertainty

Which mirrors that around me

Although with more malevolence

I wear the darkness's burns


Doubt and fear

Surround me

Oh they steal me from the life I want to live

The person I want to be

The person I could've been

I could be

If this left me alone


It's like water that drowns me

The water is cold and unforgiving

Stealing the breath from my lungs

And they scream in response

Internally eroding what's left of me

Until I am a hollowed shell which bobs to the surface

And floats off, lost in the current

Which pulled me down.
