Anxiety

So confusing to feel my always present anxiety
Amplified with a constant depression in me
I try to escape with outlets far from reality
Unfortunate with success and side effects unpleasantly
Awakening my anxiety so becomes more
Too much so I try to my best for
My kids, myself, I fail doing things to restore
Back to the normal of what I was before
Things got too complicated by choices gone bad
Bottling up and ignoring the stuff that turns me sad
Lose to these feelings that take all I have
With fear of not changing and ending up like my Dad
