Tug of war
May 9, 2021
Anxiety,
some days I don't have the strength to face you.
Some days I don't even have the strength to face myself.
Every day we play tug of war,
and I usually lose.
Not today,
today I win.
I am so much stronger than you.
I am the one in control,
and it is going to stay that way.
I am going to win every trick you play on me,
you don't even know it but I'm coming back stronger than ever and you're getting weaker and weaker by the moment.
