It can be suffocating

Perfection is always near

Anxiety is here

Don't fret

However

Because hung from the rafter of your fears

Is the motivation to be here

What inspires me?

The pounding of my heart as I begin to break

What inspires me?

The shaking of my hands as I begin to hyper-ventilate

What inspires me?

The beauty in the aftermath of the fact that my anxiety didn't consume me

I made it past another storm and that is a beautiful thing

What inspires me?

Knowing that I have made it through one hundred percent of my bad days

And there is NO WAY

That I, am going to dissapoint any of you
