I do not remember when you didn't- hunch over me in class, building a cage in my mind (Which became my prison) Controlling my every move And softly whispering lies into my ears You've kept me (a barrier from the others) from making the changes I desperately- needed and the decisions I had to make to b e h a p p y ? What is- H A P P Y ? I know the dictionary definition but not what it feels like to be h a p p y. Because. Of. You. Get out of my freaking mind already I'm going I n s a n e because I can't talk to him or be with them or even walk normally In the hallways with you here. Just leave.

Dear Anxiety
I do not remember when you didn't- hunch over me in class, building a cage in my mind (Which became my prison) Controlling my every move And softly whispering lies into my ears You've kept me (a barrier from the others) from making the changes I desperately- needed and the decisions I had to make to b e h a p p y ? What is- H A P P Y ? I know the dictionary definition but not what it feels like to be h a p p y. Because. Of. You. Get out of my freaking mind already I'm going I n s a n e because I can't talk to him or be with them or even walk normally In the hallways with you here. Just leave.
A poem about my anxiety, which has ruled over me and my life for so long.
