10 cents to a penny

anxiety eats me alive
right down to the core
where my soul and mind meet
it’s always at war
it’s rotten, decaying 
losing worth like a dime
10 cents to a nickel 
a penny, with time
the gut wrenching feeling
won’t go away
for better or for worse 
push though day by day
but how can i live 
with this knife in my chest
it’s hard to breathe 
and leaves me restless
when will it get better?
medication will do
let’s drug you up
silence your mind too
a walking zombie 
no feeling or care
just a lifeless body
with hurt and despair 
anxiety eats me alive
right down to the core
rotten like an apple
it’s hard to ignore.
