Invasion Depression and Anxiety

Sitting still with salty eyes 
summersaults in stomach strive 
suffering a poltergeist 
worried air blinding sight

quickly spawns anxiety
depression shortly joins
anger flows inside of me 
transforming all conjoin

From whole too quarter
fallen through invasion 
unable to thwarter 
hopeless persuasion 

Emotional base of optimism 
overrun by dead dreams
Innocent fun in prison 
depression fills the scene

Fear turns brave to dread
positive to negative 
self-confidence lay dead
little left submissive 

On the outside I look the same
not so perky but okay
On the inside beaten plain,
confused, what do I say?
