There is something wrong with me.

I don't realise how hurtful my thoughts might be.

Somehow it can distort our visions of reality.

It's the painful thing we call anxiety.

It wasn't until I first left my home,

My heart twinged and shocked me to the bone.

I wanted to be by myself, without being alone.

A Queen without a comfortable throne.

The thoughts of going outside,

Like water, crashed onto me like a powerful tide.

Saying "Don't go anywhere you might even die."

King Arthur worried about losing his pride.

But this is just a feeling,

A deep pit of honest reeling,

Stronger force to bring you kneeling,

But Oh, the loss of your child's eyes beaming,

Maybe this feeling has a deeper meaning.

And maybe it will lose it's grip, when your inner bravery starts breathing.
-Abi
