A simple trip to the store...
Dizzy,
Pressure in my ears,
Chest pains set in,
Body goes numb.
I lose all concentration,
Forgot what I'm doing,
Why am i here?
Scared,
Lost,
Confused...
Panic sets in.
I feel as if I'm trapped,
No way out.
Running,
Crying.
It’s not you,
It’s who I am.
I love you
And apologize.
This is the life,
Of being with me.
Are you ready?
That was mild.
Be prepared,
Or leave now.
Living with panic…
And anxiety,
Is a constant struggle…
A daily battle.
I am drained now,
Lay me down
So I can recover.
Single tear rolls over my cheek
Trying to catch my breath
I think, how silly...
You must think I've lost it.
Snap back to reality,
Jump up,
Move on.
Until the next episode.

i hurt everyday
my hips pop and ache
my back is wrenching
shoulders tense
head pounding
joints flaring
doctor says take this
to help you sleep in peace
now i cant wake up
doctor says take this
it will help you be alert
now I'm antsy
doctor says take this
it will calm your nerves
now everything is out of focus
doctor says take this
it will help you concentrate
now I'm wide awake...
on the verge of falling asleep...
super focused on absolutely nothing...
my muscles are twitching and relaxing
this all causes me...anxiety
doctor says take this
and so it goes
on and on
the vicious cycle
of my life
and i still
hurt every day.

— The End —
