choke
Posted February 6th, 2020 by FrostBittenKitten
in the clouds
my words stop in my throat
without my control as i desperately strive not to cry
i can barely breathe without collasping into a pit of tears
why are simple things so difficult?
the anxieties choke me with their familiar strain
"you're not good enough"
"you're just being a baby"
"you're such a coward"
just another punch in the gut as i try my best not to show my emotions
i glance to you, thankful that you haven't left me here
i don't understand why you don't leave me now as i continue with my obsurdities
making things harder for everyone else
i feel like such a waste of space
later i will look back on this and frown at my dumb overreaction
roll my eyes and pretend that i'm not the way i am
until the next time this happens
maybe i'll hide it better
i just wish i knew how to live without my anxiety choking me

Wow, this is really good; I can really sense the emotion in it. I don't know if there's a hidden meaning behind it, but I saw the word anxiety- coming from a person with anxiety, talk to someone. They can help.
