Your entire purpose was created to keep me safe… 

and you do.

You care so much for me. 

The thing is, you keep me so protected

 that I am always scared. 

Always on edge.

Always ready. 

You constantly make me aware of every little detail in every little moment.

What will they think if I fail?

What if I forget? 

What if it hurts? 

What if?! What if?! What if?!

Breathe.

I can’t,

 Its suffocating. 


Let me go! 

But you can't… because you are me and I am you.

Dear anxiety, 

Let me enjoy life..

Let me be happy.

Let me not worry.

Let me be me without you.
