(I)
I have no idea
How to erase the gloom
The dull ache that sits on my heart
Like a thick heavy fog
Unable to move
(II)
Beams of light force their way
Through the blanket of clouds
To reach the earth and shine
Light on life, clearing the fog

Today I am running away from
My anxiety
The black shadow that threatens to
Eat my alive and
Eat me whole
And so I hide in the confines of my
Heart fearing my mind and its
Relentless attacks
Panic is rising
Rising up and
Light is growing
Growing dimmer
While darkness
Is darkening
I steel myself
Trying to keep
Safe from
Demons inside
Rising up to
Throttle
My heart
Not knowing
Where to go
Or where to turn
I hold myself
I can’t think straight
But for the darkness creeping in my mind
Waiting for the waves to crash over
And drag me to the bottom
Of the ocean floor
Anxiety lurks
In shadows waiting to pounce –
Unsuspecting prey
The demons attack
My mind, I try and
Shake them off, but
They hold on tight
I cry for freedom, let
Me go, but they don’t
My sword is not strong
Enough to kill them
And so I live, I survive
With the demons in my
Mind
Pluck me from my life
And fly me far away from here
From all my daily strife
I’d rather be unknown
I’d rather sleep alone
In my nightly dreams remain
Than everyday to feel
This lifelong endless pain
The breaking of the water
The moving of the tide
Sways my heart to aching hell
I want you by my side
But you are nowhere
I feel the fear and acknowledge it
For it is felt within my mind and heart
Days will come, and time will pass
I will be led to where my soul
Would lead me to, and I know
That all will be well, closing my
Eyes, I reach for the sky
My anxiety has risen
Taking with it the words
That so freely flowed
