just so constantly overwhelming to live with. Imagine being locked in a room, and theres no way out, a constant state of stress, got you chained up, got restraints digging into your skin And a key...you don't have somewhere in the pitch dark room one of the lights flicker One of the only ones, And then goes out. Imagine the hope you had in your soul, the gut-wrenching thoughts through your mind, The thought… you'll never be free. But the hardest part, the absolute hardest part, is the light in the room that flickers of hope inflicting into your heart where you know a door is supposed to be but there is no door in the room, only a light flickering every once in a while before it goes out Once more.

Anxiety
Words are like water, They flow through, Some reside longer, With the hit they cause you Words are like water With much beauty comes pain With the power to drown Comes the power to drain Words are like water Flowing in many ways Some streams larger than others Always differently portrayed Words are like water Seeping through the cracks Causing more damage Than before the attack Words are like water Trickling into The depths of your soul Till they get to you Words are like water If you choose to see The effects they leave On everybody Words are like water Some a puddle you walk past Others a ocean Vast and separating the land Words are like water, They flow through, Some reside longer, With the hit caused From You
