You see me,
You hear me,
You feel me,
Yet you do not understand me,
I am not perfect,
My flaws are scars upon my face,
I have tried to face my demons,
But they drown me in my fears,
I am fighting against the tide with pills and distractions,
Yet the waves rise ten feet high,
I have lost my own battles before,
But not like this,
There is nothing to silence the voices,
That only I hear,
The doubts and fears have drained me of my life,
FEARS is who I am now,
He is me,
And I am him,
FAERS
I cry,
Cry for relief,
Yet it never comes,
Anxiety plays me like a puppet,
Itβs strings are the fears that I fear,
The man controlling me is no one,
I am cutting the strings slowly,
But I fear many things.
Itβs a poem
