Dear Anxiety

Dear Anxiety

A Poem by Drew Given
"

This felt good

"

I walk with you

I talk with you

I sleep with you

I wake with you

And everywhere I look, I’m always face to face with you 

 

Each day feels like a chasm that I’m crossing on a tight rope

And I find a cloud of doubt for every line of hope

I smile through it all, hiding from the world

Hoping you’ll go away if I can keep you in the cold

 

You hide the forest with the trees,

And the honey with the bees

Tell me there’s a storm coming,

When it’s only just a breeze

 

I think about the good

You remind me of the bad

And turned into a nightmare every dream I’ve ever had

 

You find the wrong in the right,

The dark in the light,

And f*****g worst of all,

You twist love into spite

 

You tell me you’re protecting me

That you’re keeping me alive

But all you’ve ever done

Is kill me from the inside

 

It all ends here.  

My eyes are finally open

I’ve seen how false you are

Because for every wound you’ve given me,

You haven’t left a scar

 

You tried to beat me down,

But I’m stronger than you now

I like what I’ve become,

Despite what you allowed

 

So f**k a perfect ending.

It’s more than you deserve.

And this poem’s ending note

Is just a single word.

 

Peace.

 

B***h.

 

Okay. Two.
