Dear Anxiety,
Dear Anxiety,
I will no longer allow you to linger over me,
to have the power to control how I feel.
I will no longer let you gain control of my sanity,
unable to differentiate the vague between what is real.
If it is corruption you seek, here I 'tis not,
My mind is not a playground for your trails to rot.
for it is power, you seek so longingly;
And I, I pass by and hope you'll let me be.
For I am the girl you took in your hold,
Always a prisoner forced to fold.
Here I am dealing with the cards that I've been dealt,
While others lay happily never having felt:
The encapsulating pain that follows me,
for which I have to bear along with you.
Anxiety or death the meanings are obscene
Now it is time that you leave.
