I'm so pissed at this shit:
falling unconscious onto the floor,
like a fish out of water.
The anxiety is overwhelming,
never knowing when it will strike.
The medicines have too many effects.
Debilitating drowsiness makes me exhausted,
frequent shakiness makes me stumble.
I always question, "Will I get hurt?"
Tears from the pure anger
or emotional numbness,
there's no in-between.
I don't want to feel the anger,
it's just too hard.
It pains me to have the anger.
