I've got issues.

I can tell you a few.

hold this door.

and I'll tell you more.

Anxiety keeps trying to get in.

I hold the handles tightly.

but Anxiety is mighty.

it blows out the candles.

leaving me in the dark

tripping over garbage

holding me hostage

using my head as storage

but it's a constant battle.

leaving me on my knees

in the chapel

trying to unravel

Anxiety from me

Depression moves in

telling me it's my friend.

pulls me back to the dark,

where thoughts spark.

cleaning starts'

i don't get far,

careening my head,

words spread,

like butter on toast, they melt in.

it's a shit card, I've been dealt,

too many issues,

to go on. I'll take the door,

Got to be strong.
