Anxious...

a poem by Sam Harty

By ᔕᗩᗰ ᕼᗩᖇTYPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

My anxious attachment style

is a carnivorous beast

with sharp biting mind talk

as eater of my relationships

it makes it's feast.

I try to self soothe,

to self regulate,

but I can't get past

my doubts, inner monologues

and constant debates.

She says she loves me

and to trust her.

I doubt every word she speaks.

the status of our relationship

is beginning to look bleak.

No matter how hard I try,

I remain insecure.

I can't stop self sabotaging.

I create my own reality

because I create my own causality.

She said she's becoming overwhelmed,

but I don't know what to do

to stop this mental mind vomit

and all the things I put her through.

I don't know how to help myself.

I need to end this strife.

this constant need for dopamine

is ruining my life....

    Excellent work. This piece prompted me to self-reflect. Thx 4 the inspiration. I hope and pray that things improve for you.

  • I relate to the anxious attachment style from my past: now I am unsure where I fit. I question myself in relationships rathe than another person. I am much older than you and do believe, in time, you will gain the security within to help yourself to a big ole portion of love without fear. Well examined emotions Sam!
