Life in a Letter


Dear Life,

The hand of cards you dealt me.

It's been tough 

Anxiety, panic attacks

a hospital visit for it

Why can't I be normal?

Is it that I'm so smart

that I should have these flaws?

worrying everyday

tons of pills to take.

Dear Life

Im trying my best

Just be easy on me for once.

Lauren.
