Thank You, Anxiety

Thank you anxiety

For always making me think things are harder than they really are

& a sense of accomplishment is always out of my reach

For turning situations into a living hell

& twisting words in my head

For keeping me awake

& keeping me isolated

For being the devil on my shoulder

& holding me prisoner in my own mind

For holding me back

& never letting me exceed

For jumping to the worst conclusions

& never letting me know what I should believe

For putting my worries on replay

& offering me no relief

For showing up at the worst possible times

& over staying your welcome

For withholding the truth

& blinding me from reality

For creating the illusion, the road I walk is getting longer

& my happiness is forever further

For making me who I am

& stopping me from being who I wanna be
