Fighting with my anxiety
Hyperventilating
Loud pounding
Light headed
BREATHE
In, out
In, out
don’t let anxiety win
don’t let it take you over
“it’s all in your head”
Isn’t that what they say?
“You don’t actually have it stop faking”
Like it’s not a constant battle every day?
its never gonna be easy
It’ll be a constant battle
But what if you can’t beat it?
What if it is just in your head and you are faking it
Hands shaking heavily
Head getting fuzzy
Breathing becomes hard
Pounding getting harder
BREATHE
in, out
In, out
The battle never ends for most
And sometimes anxiety decides he needs back up
Depression is a heavy hitter
He doesn’t pull his punches
He puts you in a corner
He stays on you like a bee to Hyperventilating
Loud pounding
Light headed
BREATHE
In, out
In, out
don’t let anxiety win
don’t let it take you over
“it’s all in your head”
Isn’t that what they say?
“You don’t actually have it stop faking”
Like it’s not a constant battle every day?
its never gonna be easy
It’ll be a constant battle
But what if you can’t beat it?
What if it is just in your head and you are faking it
Hands shaking heavily
Head getting fuzzy
Breathing becomes hard
Pounding getting harder
BREATHE
in, out
In, out
The battle never ends for most
And sometimes anxiety decides he needs back up
Depression is a heavy hitter
He doesn’t pull his punches
He puts you in a corner
He stays on you like a bee to honey
He pushes against you like water on a rock
And like water he cuts you off from your support
he makes it so you can’t get help from others
~dark feelings build up~
~loneliness festers~
Heavy pounding comes back
DAMN IT BREATHE
don’t let it consume you
It can’t control you
The battle is hard fought
You will survive and shine
It never truly ends but you will win the war
~loneliness festers~
Heavy pounding comes back
DAMN IT BREATHE
don’t let it consume you
It can’t control you
The battle is hard fought
You will survive and shine
It never truly ends but you will win the war
