Hashtagmindbattler

My anxiety has struck yet again, 
Coincidentally enough till this day she remains my best friend,
An angel who combined with anxiety has created the perfect sin,
A girl who’s battling within,
An inescapable battle against herself that she has no choice but to defend,
A constant mind battler that just so solely wants to make amends,
But Ana has declared that only to her I can attend.
Constant, irrational thoughts are overpowering my brain,
It’s gotten to the point where I’ve truly felt myself going insane,
For a normal life is something that I’ll never be able to sustain,
And at times I silently curse in vein,
When realistically I know no one is truly to blame.
Or how about when I feel as if I’m going to IMplode,
Yet I sit there appearing normal when silently I want all of my anxious thoughts to EXplode.
For years I’ve tried to decipher her code and through these years she gained a friend,
His name’s depression,
Now before I end this poem I have one last confession,
Let’s see if anyone can answer me this question,
Will my anxiety and depression ever allow me a state of regression?
For I’ve been back and forth with my progression,
Yet binded together they won’t allow me any form of discretion,
And I heard Ana tell Depression that it was for my own protection.

Hey I'm using your poem for my English project and was wondering if you can email me some information about yourself. Just simple things like if you have brothers and sisters, how old you are, or just background on your anxiety. If you could get back to me as soon as possible that would be awesome, if not ill have to find a new poem so that I can include background on the author for my analysis essay
