#anxietydepression
Hiding in the shadows Coming out at night Strong and independent Staying out of sight Rustling in the darkness Searching through the dirt Reminding those that fear us Reminding those of hurt Never seen in sunlight Always hid in shame The places that we fester Always those to blame Hard and feared by many Very rarely seen But proudly we sit silent Proud of where we’ve been Lurking in the corners Screaming loud and proud Stop us in a corner We scatter underground A certain infestation Hiding in decay Ignore us at you peril We spread as you delay Never trust a cockroach In solitude he dwell Surrounded by familiars All from the gates of hell

Never trust a cockroach
I'd love to be able to lay my heart out I want to open my chest and flay all my doubt Ill reach into myself and hope to see reality But how am I supposed to help if I blind myself? what if I go searching and only find trouble? What if my eloquence it reduced to babble? Reason takes effort and I'm exhausted
