Anxiety

My heart and mind,

My body

Every where

Date:- Everyday for the past 15 years 

To Anxiety ,

Deepest and darkest fears,

hell

Hello anxiety,

Its been so long since we have had an honest conversation.

in the last months

as time ticked by,

 I have been in the eye of the storm ,

with you surrounding me ,

engulfing me ,

suffocating me. 

Turning my world upside down .

You come in my moments of doubt,

but also when I was happy 

and when I was sad.

You short circuited my brain,

to think things that were so

small, almost negligible,

but you were a magnifying glass.

focusing.

focusing on the negative

the worsr case scenario.

but this is not a hate mail.

this is a letter of acceptance.

Acceptance that even though you destroyed me,

you also help me.

You help me to think things through.

this is a letter to free you .

 free me from you 

free me from this destructive bond we have.

You were once a half awake lion.

who roared to its fullest 

in the most random of moments.

 But I hope this letter

this message

this conversation I am having with you ,

will lull you to sleep.

Sleep anxiety sleep

and I hope

we meet again

on better terms.

yours faithfully,
