Anxiety


My vision grows black
while red consumes
I couldn't move or speak back
despite wanting to really try

I'm haunted by the memories of my past
My own thoughts become my worst enemy
The words that whispered by my ear circle so fast
and formed into a messed up, synchronized harmony

No matter what, I couldn't stop crying
I must be going insane
This is what it feels like to be dying
despite it all happening inside my brain

I look at myself and this is all that I see
All of this was caused because of anxiety
