Anxious Abandonment
Anxious Abandonment
I need to be somewhere...
Somewhere else than where I'm at
Anxious, so very anxious
Feeling like I am trapped
and this is my home, but it is...
is not for me, not right now
I gotta get out! I can't breathe
Closing my eyes, clenching my teeth
Please! Please! Someone HELP ME!
I need to be free...free of this constraint
This awful constriction, please somebody listen!
I can not even move, frozen here in my shoes
What to do? What to do?
Only 5 steps to the door, 5 feet of floor
I can't take this feeling anymore
I never learn...it hurts, it hurts!
My chest burns, how can I ever return?
Choking with fear, please get me away from here
Anywhere, somewhere far or near but not here
I finally leap...past the threshold
I'm cold, I'm cold, now lost and alone
Where am I now? Does anyone still care for me?
I can finally breathe...Why did I leave?
The anxiety...of everything...of failing...
By abandoning all that failure I have become...
Without Anyone...
