Dear Anxiety
four years
four years of pain, confusion, and fear
four years
four years of anger, sorrow, and tears
four years you abused me
four years you used me
four years you destroyed me
four years of crying at you to just let me be
four years of letting you control me.
no longer
no longer will I feel pain, confusion, and fear
no longer
no longer will there be anger, sorrow, and tears
no longer will you abuse me
no longer will you use me
no longer will you destroy me
I am stronger.
I am healing, clarity, and courage
I am stronger
I am love, empathy, and peace
I am stronger than abuse, use, destruction.
I am stronger than you
four years.
no longer,
for I am stronger.
