Prison

Intro

I feel like there is so much happening around me

and there's nothing I can do about it

there is so much that I want to do

but I don't have enough energy or courage to do any of them

the anxiety that one day decided to move in,

has now, locked the door

and its ‘hiding’ the key from me

I’m just too afraid to ask for it back

Anxiety Talking:

“if you didn't want me to live in your house, you shouldn't have let me move in”

“it's comfortable here and I like it, I got my own room and everything”

I cannot escape these everyday nightmares that I get,

I just can’t and it’s killing me

I have tried to get away from them and run from it all

but every time I do I end up falling on my face

and starting all over

I thought you (anxiety) had me in prison this whole time

but I'm the one holding the keys
