Anxiety

It's like a disease and it won't stop spreading

And I worry each time about what it will bring

There's a reason I like being home

I'm protected in my own little dome

Anxiety

The thing that's keeping me from being free

We know each other too well

Makes me want to yell

Wish I could make it go away and tell it to never come again

But I know it won't because I've had it even before I was ten

Anxiety

The anxiety that eats me up

That makes me feel like I am not enough

To worry so much about what people think

That I feel I start to shrink

To find out people talk about me behind my back

That's when I begin to crack

When nobody shows up to my party

I start to feel sorry

When my friends leave me behind

I feel like I will unwind

When my text messages get left on read all of the time

And my schedule messes with my bedtime

Anxiety

When I let myself always get used

I start to get bruised

Too weak to stand up for myself

I like to be alone with no one else

My worry kicks in

And I know each time my anxiety will win

Until the day I will stand up against it

I will still be stuck in this pit

Anxiety and me have a battle every day

And it seems like it will always stay this way
