Anxiety

†††
It’s a place way deep inside you,
Where the evil gremlins dwell,
And with every breath you take,
They have you in their spell…

You can feel the anxiety climbing,
As you try to take a breath,
You know it’s not much longer,
Till they bring you to your death…

It’s a scary place in darkness,
It’s a place you don’t want to be,
They wrap their arms around you,
And will never set you free…

Coping is not an option,
My tears they fall like rain,
Anxiety takes its stranglehold,
And you know this is no game…

For the chosen few among us,
Those who have felt their grip,
It’s like falling from a mountain top,
A fatal falling trip…

To never see their smiles again,
In the reflection in the glass,
God why have you put me here,
Again with fear I ask…

I told you that I loved you,
But I feel that you don’t care,
The gremlins have a hold of me,
And I’m so very, very scared…

No one knows the pain inside,
It never goes away,
What have I done to forsake you?
As I cry again all day…

The pain so real and far inside,
Deep down where feelings dwell,
A wrenching pain where they let you know,
Your soul is theirs to sell…

Darkness shows its ugly face,
In every turn I take,
Dying a slow and painful death,
In this darkened scary place…

Upon no one would I wish this,
This feeling of constant fear,
Wondering if my turn to die,
Will come sometime this year…

I don’t know if I can go on living,
It’s like I walk among the dead,
Blank and cold their stare,
As they fill your weary head…

Screams so loud they deafen your mind,
As inside they tear you in two,
And remind you they’re not willing,
Its time, you’re almost through…

Anxiety feeds the gremlins,
Fear keeps you in constant pain,
Tears fall down my swollen face,
Bludgeoned in the rain…

Oh God I’m losing the battle,
I can feel my kingdom fall,
Buried in the ruins of,
That mighty standing wall…

Never more will I know the smiles,
Nor the laughter shared within,
They have taken me below,
To the darkened, ferries den…

Death seems to overcome me,
As I finally just give in,
I tried to be the best I could,
But the dead live deep within…

Their souls linger in the shadows,
Of your darkened scary room,
And if you close your eyes real tight,
They will bring you to your doom…

There is no place you can escape their ways,
They will simply hunt you down,
Anxiety the devils triangle,
Among that fiery raging crown…

I open my mouth and try to scream,
But nothing exits the wounds,
My heart was pierced by their sword,
And I was taken to the ground…

Now I simply join them,
In their mission deep and cold,
Happiness lives in the past,
Anxiety took its toll.
