Like an uninvited guest I have stitched myself to you. You never wanted my presence but here I am regardless I am a friend you never wanted But i have attached my self to you like a wild beast Ripping and tearing at your skin below the surface. The control I have over you weighs on your chest My claws dig into your lungs, slowly suffocating you. I manipulate your memories and thoughts into my design My creation, My desire. I feed off your fatigue and ruin all the good times that you never had I build a barrier between you and the rest of the world I lock you up and throw away the key “Your in my head, you can't hurt me” I hear you cry out Nevertheless I have concocted a potion that will send you spirelling Locking you into the pit of overwhelming fear and self hating sadness I am your worst nightmare and your closest friend I am your anxiety.
