the Ramblings of a Girl with a Pen

1,2,3

1,2,3

anxiety is my soulmate
for it stays with me through everything
nestled in my mind
reminding me that nothing
nothing is truly mine
replacing hope with what ifs
dreams with "I'll never be able to do this"
Anxiety is my soulmate
because like my equilibrium
ot steadies me, readies me
for a war between can and can't
1,2,3
my dreams and doubts rush forward
clashing
while I stand stuck behind battle lines
watching as anxiety wins
standing tall in the middle of forgotten dreams
Anxiety is my soulmate
because it wins at everything
1,2,3
ominous wedding bells carry in the breeze
this is what's meant for me
