Anxiety

I'm here

I'm gone

I don't know where to be

It's me

I'm here

how far down can you push me

You can't even decide where you want me to be

I'll be where you are

waiting

to see what you'll do

I'm here

feed me, breathe me, bring me back

you're gone.

I can see what I want within arms reach

still an arm away

I'm trying, but it's loud

I count my breath

I get to four.

I'm Tired

I'm so tired

I'm happy and sad and grateful and mad

but it't a blur

it's fuzzy and I'm tired without an end in sight

a good day, a bad

it's all a blur

I'd like to say that it's getting better

but I don't even know

focus on a face

it's blurry

it's broken

Maybe that's why I used to hide it

it was the only pla...
