I have two constant companions. Though they've been there through everything, No other two souls are more determined to drag me under. Who are they? One is named Anxiety. Anxiety is a small green and brown monster, Perched on my shoulder, Whispering in my ear, A list of everyone and everything I shoould fear. Immobilizes me, Suffocates me, Choking me out and knocking me down. Feeding on my fear, Anxiety grows larger and larger, Until I am the one on it's shoulder. Whispering in their ear, Begging, Please stop... The other is named Depression. A jealous mistress indeed, Depression keeps me under lock and key, Blinds me until she's all I can see. If she suspects that I start wander, If she deems me unfaithful, i am pulled down. Smothered. Suffocated. My two constand companions: Anxiety and Depression. One, all consuming darkness, The other, Mortal paralyzation. Both hell-bent on destroying me.
