Anxiety is an emotion I rarely feel anymore. Maybe because I got my life together. Or maybe because I played it too safe. So when it comes, the fangs reopen the wounds.
I never was taught how to handle it. I was never taught how to see it. I was taught to remain silent. I was taught not to help anyone who experienced the same.
It took forever to unlearn these things. To be the voice I was hoping to hear from others. To be the one to hold me as I wept away. I want to be the one who could be there for you.
Maybe anxiety is my friend here.. The friend that lets me be a friend to all. So while these feelings send me through a whirlpool. Let me soak it in.. Let me turn this sickness into love.
If I could be the one who helps you fly away. And take you to a place better than Neverland. Then please, let me be your Peter Pan.
I don't want to let fear stop me from being there for me and you. Anxiety is the message that this is something worth fighting for.
