Anxiety

[u/under_ghost2012]

Anxiety it’s killing me, somebody please set me free.

My shoulders are heavy a thousand pounds of thoughts a-top,

so many thoughts my head is tied into knots. 

Anxiety it’s killing me, somebody please set me free. 

My heart it’s beating fast,

my thoughts are a dull cast. 

Anxiety it’s killing me, somebody please set me free.

My hands are clenched tight with fear,

a drop of rain from my eyes called a tear.

Anxiety it’s killing me, somebody please set me free.

I feel the heat building inside me, it makes me freeze. 

Some say a fatal disease.

Anxiety it’s killing me, somebody please set me free. 

My legs shake like a human earthquake, 

I need to escape the jail gate, that is my mind.

Anxiety it’s killing me, somebody please set me free.

My head hurts, I’m always on alert, my mind makes me eat dirt.

Anxiety it’s killing me, somebody please set me free.

I’m dizzy, all I can see are people around me.

I can’t let them see the real me.

Anxiety it’s killing me, somebody please set me free.

I promised myself I would try not to cry, but I still do every time.

Anxiety it’s killing me, somebody please set me free.

A burning itch all over me, I have to scratch it to feel free,

but every part of me feels like it's on fire. 

My mind is at ceasefire, but only for so long,

everything I do feels wrong.

I push a fake smile with my cheeks just to hide

the frown that I seek. 

Anxiety it’s killing me, somebody please save me, from… me.

this is my personal experience with anxiety, tried my best to describe what it feels like for me,

this is something very much out of my comfort zone so, feedback is very much appreciated.
