Hi, so a small backstory to this one, when I feel down or had a hard day/week/year/life (just kidding, I've just had some traumas) I tend to write out my thoughts and feelings. Sometimes I write in a diary, but in most cases I write out lyrics or poems, sometimes adding a melody or the other way around.
I deal with a lot of anxiety from my childhood that I'm trying to get over, but it only works if I take my time.
Which is why I found this fitting.
You might see some other poems/lyrics in the future on similar notes as this one.

Sitting alone,
staring out at the ocean.
Calm, collected but scared.
Of what the future holds,
Of the unknown.

But all it takes is one step at a time.

Anxiety soaring,
As if I had a choice,
I did not do it on purpose.
Not knowing how you'll react.
Hiding the pain is not the answer.
Reach out.

One step at a time.

The darkness is overwhelming,
dragging me further down.
I fight back.
With everything I got,
trying to be strong,
Do not forget who you are.
My past.

Insecurities,
seem to get the better of me.
I'm running in circles.
My therapist, tries to push me forth.
And she tries and she tries.

Why is it so hard to let go?
Judgemental people in my life,
Seem to come forth.
Judgemental myself.
But I got to remember,
To take,

One step at a time.
