I
was so
Insecure and alone
I came to you with no intention of meaning a thing
because I was insignificant
and ignorant
and had no authority in this place
but you threw me in with no remorse
Thank you father for making me cry
saying I'm worthless and that I should die
Thank you father for making me sad
because now I love making folks glad
Thank you father for leaving me and mom
It would be nice if I could wash away my thoughts in the shower.
Put shampoo on my brain and lather away the worry and pain.
That would be a grand end,
To a (not so) grand day.
My companion anxiety
It is time for you to go
You're not welcome here anymore
But this you already know
Reasoning with you doesn't work
Neither begging nor pleading
You go away only to return
Dear Anxiety
Why have you strung me up so high
With my nerves at their end, hands and feet tied?
People tell me all the time
Dear Mental Health,
We talked about this.
You said that if I took my head meds,
You said that if I reached out,
You said that if I tried,
Dear Lover,
I was thrown into a bottomless pit of insecurty.
Trying to dig myself out with a shovel of anxiety, but the dirt kept burying me in self pity.
Somethings missing
Something’s empty
Nobody’s listening
Coming close to the ending
But it hasn’t even started yet
Yeah when you give in life you get
But what I’m receiving is a bet
You are my master, you control my thoughts, my actions. I seperate you into different factions. Basic social functions failing. You are a fracture in my mind. Fear, you coward. Face me like a human being.
Dear Anxiety,
I would ask how you're doing, but it seems we're together almost everyday.
You've made my life a hell, and it's high time we part ways.
Gone are the days of panic attacks and mental breakdowns,
Breathe slowly
NO!
breathe softly
let all of your pains and past inhibitions soothe your troubled mind
Deeply inhale
And release aal that pent up anger&hurt
