Dear Anxiety


Dear Anxiety,

Not a day goes by where I am without you

Not a day goes by where I like you

From holding me back

To making me cry

From filling my head with negatvity

To making me freeze

I have longed to get you out of my body

To release your grip on my heart

It feels like a dark web growing inside

Ensaring any glimpse of light

Yet lately I have felt something survive,

Something survive your dark tendrils

And it's blossoming, thriving,

Without you I would not have known

How it feels to have light amongst the darkness
