Sometimes it feels like drowning in endlessness
Sometimes it hurts like shrapnel of breathlessness
Sometimes the world is not just fair to you
Sometimes cutting off feels the safest to you
Anxiety is like poison, the slow one
You swallow it from a bad experience
And slowly it creeps on your mind, a smoke very dense
It kills your optimistic thoughts
Your ability to recall the happiness you forgot
Eventually it tries to kill you
Feels as if the world has stripped your hue
No, this poem is not to recall your past experience
It is in fact to help you return to freedom
For I have been through it too
I know what it is to lose your hue
You don't need anyone but yourself
I learned this after falling myself
You are great, you should know
There is no comparison
We're all unique, in different colors we glow
No matter how dark a room you are in
A ray of light will reach your soul
Make it your strength, a strong rope to hold
Climb it, so you can come out of the hole
Scratch through the wall to brighten the light
Keep scratching in madness, just fight
Fight until the whole room is enlightened
Embrace then the sculptures you made in your darkest all-nighters
You are free now my friend, light has reached you
Don't close your gates, in fear you might tend to
Let the beautiful souls embrace your new avatar
A butterfly you've become, you just tore your cocoon apart
Blossom the garden that waits for you
There you'll find more of your hue
Dance with them until your wings give up
For spring is here, lighten yourself up
