my anxiety disorder,

has hit its border.
My walls are caving in,
there is no room left to breathe.
I have anxiety.
My mind is fogged,
by my screwed up thoughts.
My chest is in pain,
from the exact same.
I have anxiety.
When people laugh,
I feel more insecure,
I really wish there was a cure.
I feel so lost,
Within myself.
I have anxiety.
I can't find the door to escape,
to ask someone for help.
So for now I'll just smile,
And say I'm "just fine."

but deep down we all know that's a lie.
I have anxiety.
I questioned my own misconception,

What a failed misinjection.
I have anxiety.
I cannot sleep,
my thoughts are too deep,
so I stay up and think,
I begin to cry, and wonder why.
I have anxiety.
I sit at the back of the class,
shaking, thinking, dying.
I have anxiety.
Any moment,
Anything can happen.
You think I'm overreacting,
But I feel the complete opposite.
I have anxiety,
these attacks happen often.


The author's comments:

Anxiety Disorder is really hard. Insomniac nights really throw off your day. I know how it feels to experience it first hand, the pills, the therapy, you feel like you're in a prison cell of your own mind.  Hang in there, it gets better.
