Oh Anxiety

It is a elephant on my chest when I try to breathe

It is a monster in my head when I try to sleep

It is a bully on my shoulder as I try to be

Oh anxiety, go find someones else, not me

 

It is shaky hands when I get up in class

It is sweaty palms and word vomitting back 

It is fatigue when I got enough sleep

Oh anxiety, go find someone else, not me

 

When I wake up

for a moment

I forget who I am 

I forget who is with me, no matter my plan 

I breathe and I journal but nothing will take

I try to be who I think I am meant to be

Oh anxiety, go and find someone else, not me
