Anxiety Attack
Body being attacked
Monster in the brain
Unseen on the outside
Made to feel guilty when you complain
Fight or flight in motion
Must keep it together for the rest
Trying to avoid the psych ward
Don’t want to go through that again
Medicine doesn’t seem to be doing what it should
But who wants to rely on medicine anyway?
For my hope comes from the Lord
It’s okay though to ask for help
It’s okay to be medicated
At least I am honest about my condition
It’s better than living a lie
Just wish I didn’t feel like I was going out of my head
Just wish I didn’t cry all the time
And feel filled with dread
What really hurts my heart is when I meet someone who understands
It is both a blessing and a curse
Because I hate for someone else to have to endure this
But I know that God puts us together for a reason
And we must pray “this too shall pass”
When it is the proper season
This nightmare will be lifted and we will be free at last
I just want to leave a little note
A note for those who understand
We may not feel it often
But we are loved
And I love all of you
Let us lean on one another
And manage somehow to make it through
