Fell Prey Too

many times over the 
past version of self 
fell prey to anxieties that
plagued the mind 
the past self fought against  
bouts of irrational thoughts  
that ran through the mind 
an obsession to find a way out of the 
anxiety became a compulsion  
self-over analyzation became the norm
that the past self fell prisoner too
