Inhale life exhale anxiety
I never thought this would be me
Lost, confused and finding it hard to breathe.
Drowning in the thoughts that I never before had
Trying to figuere out where to put my feet to land.
My heart would pound inside my head
My fingers tingled and no words could be said.
The doctors titled me and said I was sad
And I refused to let others think I was mad.
It wasn't my past, my present or thoughts of the future
and I realized it wasnt because I lacked any kind of nuture.
Things happen to us, even in happy homes
I was raised with smiles, laughs and never alone.
Maybe this was a test, I think it was.
To prove that I could be more than what the panic does.
Yes, a test
One that I passed.
One that makes me thankful, stronger and to think fast.
Throwing away the paper bag, that once helped me breathe
that was the day, I overcame my anxiety.
