Anxiety
It hits again from nowhere
That rush that fear that unknown
My stomach turns I don’t want to go there
But my thoughts are overthrown
I have no control but I understand
The reasons from within
It’s like it takes me by the hand
And it won’t let me win
It guides my thoughts it takes my peace
It forces me to be
It brings me a fear of the unknown
For it consumes what is me
I am a passenger inside this mind
Just clinging on for hope
I want to leave this all behind
But there’s fraying in this rope
I used to fight I used to shout
But now I just accept
I once was strong but now I’m done
Inside this shell concept
I’m not me I’m not complete
I barely know myself
At my mind it now eats
And takes with it my mental health
But what can I do to improve
This overbearing pain
But who can I turn to
Time and time again
I feel I’m a pain to those I love
I know I drove them mad
As much as they say I’m above
I’m held down, inside I’m sad
Hollow feelings empty space
An echo through my mind
It never goes it’s always a race
To search inside and find
I guess I’ll live the rest of my days
Just trying to survive
But know this I’m afraid
That it consumes my life
