Dear Anxiety


Feel free to be quiet

Feel free to move out

Your voices won't quit

I really need you out

I can't think 

I can't speak

I am lost and confused

I feel used

Please, stop telling me what to do

I always get hurt when I listen to you

I feel my head exploding

When you are screaming

Telling me that everyone hates me

Anxiety, why do you make it hard for me

To function in society

I feel awkward

I can't press forward
