I get overwhelmed
When I have a lot to do.
A ton of voices shouting
Scare me too.
It gets hard sometimes to
Look at the bright side
When I'm standing all
Alone in a black hole.
My anxiety creeps
Down my back
And up my spine-
Through the door
That contains my mind.
It scares me sometimes
When I'm without you
Because I was home
But now I'm alone and through.
I wonder where you went
Because with you
So did my heart-
My emotions of happiness
Fled during the dark.
It's gotten worse
You see because
You're not here
And I'm sick of fighting
When you're not near.
No matter how happy I try to be
My sadness always attacks
Sometimes it's when I'm alone
That I don't even fight back.
I let it attack me-
Hit me like a freight train.
I let it take over my body
And consume my brain.
Every part of my body screams
"Don't give up; keep fighting"
But my mind contradicts and says
"Listen to it darling.
Let the pain burn you alive .
Let the grief settle in because after all
Don't you remember when-"
It drains all my energy.
It takes away the zen-
The feeling of calm
I had conquered within.
Which leaves me overwhelmed, yet again.
