Anxiety
My life is a sea of anxiety
I feel like I'm drowning
I need help, reciprocate me
I’m falling apart at the seem
And I only have me to blame
Do your best and you can't fail
I've proven that wrong time and time again
I've tried all the steps
I've walked on the edge of success just to fall
It's starting to look look like I'm chasing my own tail
Your brothers never had this problem
I'm not them and I'm sorry for that
Now I just sit around looking solemn
It's a hit to my self esteem
Do I have enough in me to follow my dream
But I've got to keep trying
Learn to breathe underwater
Become friends with the bottom dwellers
Learn how to perform CPR on myself
Sew myself back together, I'll be fine
My life is a sea of anxiety
I feel like I'm drowning
I need help, reciprocate me
I’m falling apart at the seem
And I only have me to blame
