I was calm, peaceful, content Then you came along an it was lively As time went by it just turned to anxiety It peaked, the anxiety overwhelmed me And then, once again the depression set You’re the last one I thought would trigger this Feeling worthless, empty, without meaning Fun metaphors we made A & B, thinking That someone who’s B could never hurt me I laugh from the depths of this well Maybe with this echo, there’s a way out I worry, I worry so much once again You’re so stiff, all of them as they led me I wanted to say, I know, I wish I could relax The pain I feel inside barely allows me to move Let alone twirl and dance the way I used to love Even that has been tainted by you Yet I am not angry, just void of feeling I worry, I worry so much its all crashing down My time, my mental space I sacrificed To think I could make a difference in someone I was just sabotaging myself concurrently hurting you Man, how I wish what I did brought some benefit Maybe then I could sleep in peace Now I might not have a job anymore I might not have a home I might have no friends And I might have no direction I might have absolutely no one These were my choices This is my karma Ive lived before and I can live again So comes, as so goes But hey, maybe I’ve still got me And I guess that’s worth something Even if everyone thinks its not. So comes, as so goes I’ll find another sense of meaning

Anxiety
I was calm, peaceful, content Then you came along an it was lively As time went by it just turned to anxiety It peaked, the anxiety overwhelmed me And then, once again the depression set You’re the last one I thought would trigger this Feeling worthless, empty, without meaning Fun metaphors we made A & B, thinking That someone who’s B could never hurt me I laugh from the depths of this well Maybe with this echo, there’s a way out I worry, I worry so much once again You’re so stiff, all of them as they led me I wanted to say, I know, I wish I could relax The pain I feel inside barely allows me to move Let alone twirl and dance the way I used to love Even that has been tainted by you Yet I am not angry, just void of feeling I worry, I worry so much its all crashing down My time, my mental space I sacrificed To think I could make a difference in someone I was just sabotaging myself concurrently hurting you Man, how I wish what I did brought some benefit Maybe then I could sleep in peace Now I might not have a job anymore I might not have a home I might have no friends And I might have no direction I might have absolutely no one These were my choices This is my karma Ive lived before and I can live again So comes, as so goes But hey, maybe I’ve still got me And I guess that’s worth something Even if everyone thinks its not.
