Hey anxiety, why are you here?
Oh, you think I should feel that?
Well I don’t live in fear.
Even though you try to make me,
every time you are near.
I have made mistakes before
because you came around.
I didn’t know how to handle you.
So you became a mound.
The mound became consuming.
I just needed you to leave.
I had to do something,
so I could find relief.
Did you find what you were looking for?
Oh the relief? Yeah, it was brief.
But afterwards,
I felt like I was drowning in the sea.
That act on emotion,
It was not me.
There was commotion in the ocean,
of my percipiency.
I didn’t know I could be you,
but I guess that I could be.
Not cool, the things you’ve made me do.
Come on now gimme that calm sea.
I’m stronger now from what you put me through.
So I do owe you some graditude.
For now I see life without your tinted hew.
And I have changed my attitude
I know now that you are not me,
and I am done being you.
You and me anxiety,
sorry, but we’re through.
