Dear Anxiety
Dear Anxiety,
Are you the reason my life is a mess?
Or is it just me,
My imagination,
My endless misconception?
Are you the reason my dad left?
Or was it because my mom was young,
Because she had a second one,
Or because your motorcycle made you drive alone.
Are you the reason I can't be in love?
Or is it because I'm actually crazy,
Because I can't give him what he wants,
Or is he actually with another girl.
Are you the reason someone I love tried to die?
Or is it because we aren't close,
Because I wasn't always there,
Or was he trying to leave me.
Dear Anxiety,
You're all I have left,
And just when I think you've left,
You always show back up.
Dear Anxiety,
You always seem to have an answer
And I always seem to listen,
but because of you I can't tell my mind from reality.
It's all a stupid mess and you seem to be behind everything.
My pain,
My tears,
My heartbreak,
And panic.
But Dear Anxiety,
You're all I've ever known
And I don't know who I'd be,
If I ever let you go.
