Headaches daily

Jaw tight

Nightmares are crazy

Mental fight

Numbness indistinguishable

Tight hands

Meds more than I’m able

Walls bland

Eyes watering

Untied shoelaces

Don’t have the energy

To do anything about it

Anxiety’s a killer

Just breathe

Always a thriller

Whenever I am asleep

Half lidded

Face the day

Stuck with it

Am I still Tay?

Suffocating at home

In my coffin

By myself alone

I’m tryin to fix it

Nothing is me

Losing interest

In everything

Kinda scared of it

Trauma built up

Bottled emotions

Opened the lid up

But they’re just not flowing

Trapped inside

My fault

I did it this time

It’s hard

I’m sorry

I’m not good at this

Sharing my story

Easy to miss

Push em away

Before they leave

At least I can say

This time it was me

Swear I’m trying

You won’t lose me

Stopping the lying

Bout how I’m feeling

Please be patient

This is new

I don’t make sense

But I need you

I opened up

But hardly cried

It’s not done

Just stuck inside

I love you

I’ll get there

I’m telling the truth

I know you care

Thank you

For being here

Through and through

When I’m caught in fear

I’m not there yet

But I’m still trying

Day by day

I’ll keep surviving

Through the storm

The skies will clear

And maybe soon

I’ll get out of here

I’m still me

Underneath the weight

Learning to breathe

And to be okay

So thank you

For holding on tight

With you by my side

I’ll be alright.
