The anxiety it gets to me
My hands shake
My heart it feels heavy
My throat gets dry
My leg starts to bounce
It's an attack
An attack from my brain
From my brain to my body
My body attacks me

People say depression is a  fake smile,
You say “I’m fine” when you’re not,
That’s not the whole truth.
They say anxiety makes you feel worthless,
It does but that’s not the whole truth.
Depression is when you feel sad a lot,
Its when the simplest thing can break you.
You’re too tired to do anything.
Anxiety is feeling worthless,
Or like no one loves you,
Or no one cares,
No matter how hard you try to tell your self you matter,
Anxiety gives fake evidence that no one cares.
Anxiety makes you worry,
It makes you do many things.
And having both is complete hell.

i've created many storms inside myself
i'm afraid to cry now
when i do
it releases from my body
the lighting strikes
the thunder begins to clap
the wind is very strong
and its destroying everything it its path
Right here,
on the stage,
right in front of the public.
As they chant, as they cheer.

For the mugging of your blood.
I wrote this piece while I was inside a therapy residential housing unit going through truama therapy.

A monster claws at the back of my mind...
And it's worse than those I've left behind.

Talons on neck
Gun on mind
Rope my friend
Lifes not kind

Pills now seeded
Alcohol heavy rain
Words are lost
I feel no pain

Bed of glass
Clothes of heat
Hand on knife
Once more repeat

Pen to paper
Thoughts now ink
Smile now fayded
I no longer think

Inhale. Exhale…
Close your eyes, and let your worries out
Inhale. Exhale…
Let your hope bloom, and sprout
Inhale. Exhale…
The sand watch is broken
Inhale. Exhale…
You’re showering beneath the flakes of time
Inhale. Exhale…
Time is but sand slipping through your fingers
Inhale. Exhale…
Send out your screams. Send out your shout.
Inhale. Exhale…
Open your heart, and ears out
Inhale. Exhale…
Lesson, and hear.
Inhale. Exhale…
Now tell me what you feel. Tell me what you hear?
Inhale. Exhale…
That’s right. That’s what you hear
Inhale. Exhale…
That’s your echo. There is no help there is no hero
Inhale. Exhale…
There is but you
Inhale. Exhale…
You plant the field by day, and rest at night
Inhale. Exhale…
There is no stop in the clock
Inhale. Exhale…
There is no walls, there are but stepping blocks
Inhale. Exhale…
Don’t worry the sand is but a fall
Inhale. Exhale…
The waves will bring you to your knees
Inhale. Exhale…
The waves will tear you apart
Inhale. Exhale…
Watch your world break. Watch your world rip asunder
Inhale. Exhale…
See that lighting shredding the sky, watching it fall as burned leaves
Inhale. Exhale…
Open your eyes, and see
Inhale. Exhale…
You are but in a field
Inhale. Exhale…
You are but in a room
Inhale. Exhale…
You are chained to your fears
Inhale. Exhale…
The more you fear the more you lose
Inhale. Exhale…
The more you fear the more you sink
Inhale. Exhale…
There is no god, there is no hero
Inhale. Exhale…
There is but you
Inhale. Exhale…
We all know we are going to die babe
Inhale. Exhale…
Let’s die fighting or die trying
Inhale. Exhale…
I can't write
I can't think
Was this really a good fit for me?
I cant hold it together
My composer fades quickly
And I break so easily
He's there
When I need him
And I know he always will be
But I can't shake this feeling
That he won't stop me breaking
I always do
One way or another
And I can't help it
So what am I to do?
I'm scared
I'm frightened
What if I fail?
I don't want to fail
I don't want to fail...
Stress of school was getting to me
