Anxiety.  Depression.  The structure of just those two words sounds so simple; Alas, they are anything but simple.  

Anxiety.  Like a monster, it claws at your insides with no mercy.  Depression.  It leaves you numb to life, it's like jumping into a churning, roaring sea with a ball and chain on your foot.  It's no easy feat to live under such conditions... 

Here's the thing:  
It can either make a person. Or it can break a person.  It only brings fear and darkness to those who let it consume them.  But there's a choice.  You can rise, or you can run.  The choice is yours to decipher.  Just like it was mine....

Cold Water by adaline_meadows

[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ Depression

Anxiety is not a joke. This is based on Anxiety, some poems and what not. So, enjoy. Some of these aren't mine, the owners get the credit. (Most came off this website; http://hellopoetry.com with the Anxiety hash-tag) I am using other people's poems and words because its hard to describe. And these poems honestly need to be seen by others. Any hateful comments, will be deleted. Thank you for reading. **WARNING** I guess this is a little triggering. Not really sure, but I'm just warning you now.
