Disorders
I am broken,
Wondering if i can be fixed
Wondering if you can take
Your thread and hollow needle
And sew my breaking heart
Back to before
Depression,
weights constantly on my shoulders
pulling me further down into quicksand
i try not to sink any further than i already am
and struggle
with scars on my wrists
and memories stuck in my head like glue
but yet i manage to keep a smile on my face
just for you.
Anxiety,
panic attacks
and pretending everything's perfectly okay
my fragile heart pounding in my chest
i started struggling to breath
from being surrounded by this sea of strangers
unable to stop the anxiety
take over my body.
having absolutely no control
feeling as if i'm being choked
with all the memories
trying to swallow them
with a lump in my throat.
Dyslexia,
struggling as i’m stuttering
trying to read a short simple story
seeing different letters almost every time
repeating each line in my mind
making mistakes with my messed up words
pausing in mid-sentence
catching myself before i mess up again
my eraser is my best friend
getting rid of all the mistakes i wrote
as if they were never there.
