Anxiety

Anxiety and fear of failure.. a dark road I once and sometimes still walk upon..

Why do we feel anguish, why do we feel sorrow..? Living in fear for what comes tomorrow.
Is it a dream or is it a nightmare.. A life filled with lies, the truth is out there..
Time passes by, we shiver in cold.. Failure is certain.. or so I’ve been told.

Screams of horror from the other sides.. keeps us awake during these dark nights.
Oh, how I hunger for one good night rest.. No more knives pierced through my chest..
When the world is silent, and mercy is dead.. I muster my courage and crawl back to bed.

But destiny awaits and my time is running out. Yet, still I’m not ready to face this last bout.
No turning back now or the angels will cry.. We’ve waited long enough.. it’s time for goodbye..
They call out my name.. It’s my turn to fight.. what once was darkness now turns to light..

Chin up soldier, it can’t get much worse.. This is the ocean in which we immerse.
No time to run back, no time for regret. The curtains have risen and the stage has been set.
We’ve come a long way.. We’ve come really far.. Despite all the tensions " here we are..

But as long as I stand tall.. My shadow still lingers.. Seeping fear right through my fingers.
One small mistake and it’s all over.. Pack up your bags, you’ve picked the wrong clover..
Regardless what outcome, one thing is for sure.. We’re bound to redo this endless tour..

It doesn’t matter, we’re all on the run.. Be it for good, for bad or just for the fun..
This is where our fairy tale ends.. We hope you learned from it and made your amends.
For no one deserves to feel what we felt.. to see what we saw.. and deal how we dealt..

To that extent we lay down our past.. Let it be heard, the least not be last.
Sleep well, child of mine and please do not fret.. The day may be over, but the sun has not set.
I wish you good luck, and let that be known.. Whatever you do with it.. Your fate is your own…
