Anxiety

Tears fill my eyes
Sadness fills my lungs
No one else can see
The things I am running from

Shadows start to move
Voices start to yell
It’s like a grand ole’ staircase
To my own personal hell

I shut myself off from the world
“Self-isolation it’s the key”
The key to more sadness
And worse anxiety
