Plague

Anxiety plagues my brain. 

every day I go through pain. 

Rotting from the inside, out. 

Filled with terror,filled with doubt.

Making the best of this.

Trapped in here, no chance of bliss.

The world continues to spin.

Every wall is caving in. 

 

Smothered by intrusive thought. 

I'm giving this battle all that I've got. 

This pattern grows strong. 

Part of my life, I carry along. 

With me wherever I go.

A time bomb ticking waiting to blow. 

Pressure replaces my pride.

Something is building inside.
