To wake up a puddle of sweat I have nightmares. I can't go back to bed it's late these voices just keep playing and repeat in the back of my head but 15 years old still hates being alone please just make it stop just make it stop

Dear anxiety
I wake up to the mirror, i don't like what I see, a stranger space keep staring at me i smile for the world but it's paper thin a mask I've been wearing that's cracking within I try to be better every step forward Still feel so wrong I'm choosing a version of me I can't find It goes in the shadows that's trapped in my mind I'm screaming inside but the world doesn't hear The voice in my head Is the most fear I am tired of myself I can't carry this weight running in circles but it's always too late I'm breaking apart in the silence keep crying out loud where no one can see I am so tired, so tired of being like this why wishing tomorrow won't look like today but they're closing in harder and harder
