Anxiety

24.

I sat in a dark room today,

Just me, and the light from my laptop,

And,

      I felt calm,

And for the first time,

            In a long time,

I wasn't worried,

And I didn't think once about the things that worried me,

      And I realized something,

Just because you don't believe my Anxiety is there,

Doesn't mean, it isn't,

      I live with it everyday,

My fear of people,

      My fear of failure,

            My fear of saying the wrong thing,

                  Or doing the wrong thing,

My fear of everything,

    My fear of losing the relationships I worked so hard to build,

My fears aren't yours,

     Yours aren't mine,

And that's okay
