Dennis Baze Poet Free verse

I Want To Exist

Anxiety makes me question everything I do
Makes me question how I treat others
Most of all how I treat you

Makes me feel weak
Makes me feel sick inside 
With no place to hide
Holding on to my pride

Anxiety is one sick twisted monster
Tearing at my inside
Rib cage breaking 
Pain shooting all over 
Wait..
It's all in my head 
Questioning everything I just said

Anxiety makes it hard to explain
Why I have these thoughts running through my brain
Unable to sustain any clear thoughts

Trying to survive without medication
Trying to make it through the day without any frustration
This is me everyday

Ashamed that I feel so weak
That I've let it come this far
I need help 
I admit this
Most of all I just want to exist

Jill Spagnola August 19, 2015 at 5:25 AM You more than exist. Anxiety is fully rooted in fear. I choose to face it with you so we both can do more than exist. Nothing is forever but death and your poem is screaming with life. It takes a sufferer to see one....Exhale Dennis :), jill
