Anxiety
July 1, 2015
No, you will not stop me
You will not control me
You are not worth my tears
You are not worth all these years
No these are the things I love,
The people I love, you will not take them from me
I will not mold to the pathetic person you want me to be
You have drained me
You stole my strength
How can this be?
I dont want you at all
But no matter what
You will always be a part of me
I have fought and fought and now I am tired
But you will not win, you do not own me
So although you are strong and sometimes pin me down
I will never stop fighting to be me.

I wasn't sure whether to put this under non fiction or under poems because this is based off of my struggles with anxiety and overcoming it but I felt it was more poetic. I hope you enjoyed this and can relate to this or it helped you understand a friend who is struggling better. Ps. The picture I chose was because the poem represents balance and strength and that is how I view yin yang, not to mention the artist is insanely talented!
