Favorite Quote:
Have you ever really danced on the edge? Is something still scaring you? - Pierce The Veil, The Balcony Scene


She sits in silence
Tries to keep me inside
But it shows in her shaking hands
And the scared look in her eyes
Doesn’t want me to come out
In fear that she’ll explode
But I come out and show my face
I’m all around like smoke
I fill the air with fear
She can’t breathe fast enough
In and out, she sucks me in
Then depletes her lungs
I can’t walk, I don’t have feet
But I am in her bones
Push her any way I want
Her thoughts become my own
I take over and take in
Everything she sees
I’ll twist and change it every way
So she can’t even think
When she starts to start anew
I stop right in her way
She can’t move when I’m around
So in a box she’ll stay
I love it when she cannot move
I like to see her cry
Turning light into madness
Is how I pass my time
She tries to stop me and calm down
Breathe in and count to four
But two can play at that game
I’ll take her up some more
There’s no way that she can stop
When I am in the lead
So watch out world, here comes the freak
Who has become just me

After going through a difficult day, somebody recommended I write about my anxiety from the point of view of the anxiety. This made me think about everything involved in my fear, and this is what I came up with.
