Anxiety
Dear anxiety,
Yesterday I saw an old friend at the mall but I didn’t say hello because of you.
We used to be good friends but ever since I moved it hasn’t been the same. It was because of you.
Today I had school but I stayed in bed after hitting snooze three times because of you.
I was well prepared for my test but the acne on my face scared me back to bed.
It was because of you.
Tomorrow I have softball practice but I think I’m going to skip it because of you.
I’m excited about the season starting but I told myself I’m not as good as the other girls.
It was because of you.
In six months I start college but I might not attend because of you.
I can’t stand the thought of being away from home and having to do things on my own.
It’s because of you.
Today I gave up on my dreams because I know I can’t achieve them if I’m with you.
And it’s all your fault.
Sincerely,
Me
