Anxiety


I try

I fail

I try again

I still don't succeed

 

What is that pain in my chest?

Why am I sweating so much?

Why can't I breathe?

Why do I keep shaking?

 

Am I really worthless?

Why can't I be enough

Who cares...?

 

I can't succeed

I try

They tell me I am a lost cause

I push

I fall

I get stronger

I push harder

 

I won!
