Pantoum On Anxiety

I feel a knot deep in my chest at night, The kind that makes you want to take your life. That you don’t see coming as evil might It is anxiety my biggest fight The kind that makes you want to take your life, The kind that means you are crazy, right? It is anxiety my biggest fight Who keeps me up at night The kind that means you are crazy, right? Replaying memories on repeat, I don’t think I could defeat Who keeps me up at night If only I could sleep Replaying memories on repeat, I don’t think I could defeat All the trauma I’ve endured, If only I could sleep This illness in my spirit I could defeat All the trauma I’ve endured, That you don’t see coming as evil might This illness in my spirit I could defeat I feel a knot deep in my chest at night
