#setmefree
the anxiety creature
made up of slime and ooze
with sharp claws
that dig into my mind
trying to drag me down with it
whispering in my ears
making me tremble
and ruminate
i try to run and escape it
but it always catches up
i won't stop running from it
soon enough it will tire
and i will be free

Inside a room somewhere in my mind
I sit alone in the darkness
I can't break through the bars I'm trapped behind
The beat of my pulse constantly racing
A panic rises as I cry
Blood drips down my chin
I stare out at the dark starless sky
all the beast are real
They stalk me in the night
I wait for them to come for me
This to be my last fight
I fake my smile
And pretend I'm fine
A mask so well displayed
Emotion they can't find
I hate this cage
The chains that bind
I scream for a savior
But they can't hear my cry
How do you see
The girl hidden inside her mind

Expectations, expectations,
Can I drop you for a while?
I don't mean it bad or vicious,
I just need a relaxed mind.
I don't really need your pressure,
Since it holds me back a lot,
Can I please enjoy this moment?
Cause it's everything I got!

Let me go
Set me free
I lost myself
Whilst trying to find you
I lost myself
Whilst trying to find love
But, now I know
That I've been diving in a salty sea
A sea that throws me back to the surface
Every time I go deeper
...
And floating for me is as worthless
as walking is for a bird
...

my anxiety had consumed me
i was looking for an out
my friends said you were the key
that, i didn't doubt
i was worried it could be risky
but my friends said it was time
said you worked better than whiskey
and you're taste was sublime
my friends all tried to claim
my troubles would be gone
soon like a moth to a flame
to you i was drawn
my confidence was frail
but my willingness had shifted
and with one deep inhale
my troubles were lifted
i was laughing and happy
and it all felt so great
my life had been really ******
you took away the pain, fear, and hate
why are you illegal
when you bless us so
you give us a feeling so regal
and let our smiles show
you remove all of our pain and hurt
to let us be happy for an hour
you pick our self esteems up out of the dirt
and let us appreciate the beauty in a flower
you allow us to appreciate
sight, smell, sound, touch and taste
as our lives depreciate
and more troubles are faced
our meeting was fateful
you let me be a happier me
i am forever grateful
for how you set me free

i share my body,
i share my mind,
i don't have privacy
from the person inside.
she's a demon,
a ***** to the core,
she forces bad thoughts
and a whole lot more.
it's a a constant struggle,
it's always a fight,
sometimes i wish she'd go
but mostly at night.
i don't want her inside,
i just want to be free,
i'm tired of her ruining everything,
i just want to be me.

The pain has begun to burn a hole straight through my chest,
It stings and sizzles as I try to smile, slowly crushing whatever’s left of this thing I call my heart.
The Waves of darkness that wash over me cause this frail body to shut down, and exhaustion sets in, with the strong girl I once was long gone theres no chance for me anyway.
So please just let the wind sweep away my ashes, and let me finally be what i’ve always wanted to be...
Free.

i stumble from where i stand
my entire body refuse to get up
minds been hanging for such a long time
now i don't want to choose anymore
been longing for freedom
yet the voices strangled me down
burst my sweat into tears
i can't take it anymore
for whom i walk this road everyday?
keep wondering why
why don't you understand?
'cause laugh it off doesn't work for me anymore

I love you more than you will truly, ever know. I am stricken with so much fear. I am so scared because, truthfully admitting, I have no certainty that I obtain enough strength to defeat this "monster". I can't stop hearing this **** on a loop in my head. What if I never break myself free, what if I am trapped inside my own demise forever? It's the most frightening thing that I've ever known, I have been too afraid to be anything other than still; so, so, still.

*Put me in the chamber
with just shame to inhale.
I will extinguish ,
flaming out the demons.
For then my soul will purify
and
i will b freed.*

When the sun will cease to shine,
And the moon hides behind the clouds.
When all the stars have fallen
It will prevail, Darkness will.
What should I do by then?
Should I wait with arms wide open?
Let darkness be embraced by me
And be bound together for whole eternity?
Even before, I have known darkness
It kept me away from loneliness.
So darkness be embraced by me,
Come to me and set me free.
Bathe my heart with sadness
Take my mind too, fill it with madness
Drop my soul in the abyss of wickedness
And lead my life to nothingness
I can already hear it coming
The nearer it comes, the greater the fear I’m feeling
But I won’t let these petty emotions overcome me
For in the place I’ll be going, Fear and Courage wears the same face
It is already here, now come and take me
Set my spirit free

you took the ground upon which i walked and made it my sky
you took my hands and you taught me
my dreams, they can fly.
you took my heart that had died
shook it with all your passion
and set it afire with all life's storms.
you brought me to my knees
for love, for pain, for life
and then you set me free.
