Crippling Darkness
A summer night in an autumn's room
My fingers shaking, my heart's constant boom

My eyes are closed but i'm not asleep
The fan on high is the only faint squeak

Repetition makes a fool out of me
(Change the game to live happily)

Prayer offered fervently upon shaking knees
The shadows...

Its Crippling Me
The way it chokes me up, wrapping its hands around my neck
It’s crippling me.

My chest caves in, my hands tremble, my body sweats.
It’s crippling me.

I feel vulnerable, scared, anxious, and shameful.
It’s crippling me. 

I can’t eat, I can’t think, I can’t even feel my emotions...

Premium Member Enabling and Crippling Our Children
They look for a little bit, and then they get tired of looking and they give up.
They go back to their parents’ houses, lamenting that there are no jobs. 
No one wants to hire them. The parents take them in, pat their backs.
Make a million...

crippling anxiety
I feel as if I am the only one. I stand, my feet planted in the sand, and look ahead of me; a vast ocean appears. It’s beautiful, yet that is not what my fixated being chooses to look on. I see death; I see...

Premium Member Crippling Fears
Xenophobia is a one-eyed monster,
the fear is so debilitating
that home is all the world one needs.

But when fear of strangers turns to prejudice
against people from other countries,
it's time to analyze the problem at its root.

When do we stop feeding the hate
that's rampant in this world...
