Anxiety Resident

I feel you inside me,

Rotting my brain and lungs,

They call you anxiety..

Oh look at what you've done.

I’m fighting this battle,

I've won, you've lost,

I've lost..you won..

And this shaky roller coaster just goes on and on.

So I ask..

Why do you reside in me when you are not welcome here?

Why do you blur reality then fill me with such disgusting fear?

You litter in my brain and you don’t give a damn.

Destroying any bit of beauty that makes me who I am.

I have asked you to leave and I’ve even begged you please,

But there is no law or rules that put away the criminals of this disease.

So I just continue this battle even though I get wounded more each time.

But I release just a little bit of my pain in my poetry and make it rhyme.
