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

This is how Anxiety lives
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
