Fail To See

Darkness
Our minds fail to see
Sunshine 
We have anxiety on the mind

We live with stress
At times it gets the best 
Sleepless
Like a fly 
A constant pest 

We're stronger than this 
These scars on our wrists 
Tell you differently 

In a world filled with chaos 
Feeling like everything is off 

I want my life back 
To be back on track 

To see the sun again 
To live 
To breathe 
Not stress over things out of my control 
I'll stand my ground
I'll never leave
