I was sitting in a stream
Watching dragonflies, when I decided
I hated my lives
Both of them
Every single moment

I was sitting in the shade
Crying to myself, when I knew
I had only one thing left
He’s all I had
And so I died

I was suspended in water
But not alone, when I was dying
Now that life has gone
The pain was gone
I rose out of the water

I was sitting in a tree
Absolutely terrified, as I remembered
Back to before I died
So scared
So alone

I was sitting in that tree
Singing, when I realized
I wasn’t hurting
I was sound
I was happy

I was sitting on the porch
Swinging, when I saw the sky
A bird there was humming
You were gone
But you never left

I was standing on a stage
Thinking, when at last I was happy
I was singing
They all listened
Even the bird

I was sitting in a stream
Alone, when I was enlightened
My heart found a home
I found peace
Pain left on the dragonflies

I was stuck in a shadow
Dying, when my anxiety controlled me
Kept me there lying
To myself
In my pain

I am standing in a room
Speaking, now I come rising
Out of the shadowed hiding
From dark to light
This is how anxiety died
