Dear Anxiety
Dear Anxiety,
We have grown so close one could say we’re friends.
Thank you for always being there.
Thank you for being the impending storm
Ready to rain on my parade.
Thank you for being one of the many demons
Who are trying to drown me in a sea of self doubt
One whose sea levels rise more and more
The older and older I become.
Thank you for being the beast inside
Scratching at my insides
Making you entirely invisible
And making others unaware of my suffering,
Other than the real scars
You have driven myself to do.
Thank you for being the hell in my mind
Making your constant taunts
Hard to ignore
Bringing tears to my eyes.
Thank you for being another bully in my life.
Thank you for never letting me live a day in peace.
Thank you for everything.
Sincerely,
Another tortured soul you cause damage to
