A Stronger Self
Location
Anxiety
I feel helpless and hopeless
As if no one understands
I am scared
But of what?
I am scared of myself
I need an outlet
I need a path
Why is this happening to me?
Why am I so afraid to go to sleep?
Why am I so afraid of myself?
Poetry is power
It connects me to the world
I am no longer alone
I am no longer afraid
I am myself, but stronger
I am a chef, a painter, a lover, a cancer patient
I have been betrayed, forgotten, mischevious, powerful, and in love
I am myself, but stronger
My anxiety doesn't rule me anymore
