You show up,

Unannounced and unwanted.

I don't want you here.

I wish you would go away.

Your attacks are premeditated and vicious.

I seek solace away from others,

and you sink your teeth into me.

I shake and my breaths stop coming.

I begin to cry and my mind keeps running.

People attempt to calm me down,

Peer pressure makes it all drown.

I can't stand feeling like a spectacle,

Another symptom of you I assume.

I wish you would leave me

To be on my own.

I wish you would find your home

In a dark, damp, dungeon,

Far under the earth.

Where you cannot get me is where you won't hurt. 

My stomach starts churning,

My mind keeps on turning.

I can't focus anymore!

My breaths are hitching again!

No! This isn't allowed, please just go!

Go away from me, stay away! This isn't fair!

Should I pray? That is what they tell me to do,

But no matter what I can't run from you.

Anxiety your sting is strong,

But I don't intend for you to be here very long.

I hope you'll leave, and never come back, 

But until then I'll fight just as strong,

Until somebody senses that something is wrong. 

When I get the help that I need,

I will finally make you concede.
