Struggling Mind

I'm feeling so sad
Am I that bad
I cannot handle any stress 

Locked in a cage 
Full of this rage
It truly is a mess 

Nothing seems right
My chest feels tight
What's wrong is anyone's guess 

Its not good for my health
Reach for the tablets on the shelf
The idea is not the best 

Grounding techniques applied
I have nowhere to hide
It's not easy I must confess 

Feeling so alone
These thoughts have grown
I cannot lay and rest 

The black dog is strong
I hope for not long
But now I digress
