I woke up this morning to you towering over the foot of my bedframe. Anxiety When I stared blankly at my cereal bowl, disinterested and afraid to eat. Anxiety I take a shower at a snails pace, petrified of returning to the mirror to be bathed once again in your foul cocoon. Anxiety When I leave the house I look down at my feet, to escape the gazes of strangers with motives unknown to me. Anxiety As I cry alone in the bathroom stall, not knowing who to turn to for a problem that never leaves. Anxiety I just want you to know that you're killing me. Anxiety

Sometimes life is an unnecessary struggle we are just trying to beat.
