Affliction

Anxiety

When it takes over, you don't know what to do 

You can't breathe you can't move

You just lie there, shaking. crying

wishing someone could help you.

Give you a diagnosis, like this was a disease

It hurts and there's no way to fix it or ignore it.

You can be happy, then boom out of nowhere

it takes you under again

Sometimes it feels like you're drowning

like nothing is ever going to help you out.

Then there's this person,

this one person who makes everything seem

so surreal

like life was a book or a movie

they make everything better.

You start to feel happy and think,

"maybe he loves me"

then they leave.

Everything comes crashing down again,

and you're suddenly drowning, but 

there's no way out this time.

It's forever.
