Anxiety has won


Dear Anxiety

I can't breathe.

I can't breathe.

At least I think I feel like, I cant breathe.

The world is so big.

Yet I am so small.

I can't leave my house.

I can't leave my room.

I can't leave my bed.

I can't breathe .

I can't breathe.

I can not think straight.

I can not feel.

I cant not see.

I can't breathe.

I can't breathe.

You have over powered me.

You have swept in like a theif in the night.

I am your slave.

My heart is pumping outside my chest.

My head is throbbing.

I am sufficating.

You have won.

I can't breathe.

I can't breathe.
