Anxiety
Pay Attention
I can’t
I’m trying
But it’s hard when your thoughts
Are destroying all positivity
Tap
Tap, tap, I can’t stop tapping
It’s the only thing distracting me
From the feeling of being stuck in this rut
Slow down
I can’t.
The words escape my mouth like a race that
Has no winner
Don’t think about it
I can’t
It’s not that easy
You can’t just block thoughts
Get over thoughts
It’s not a hurdle
It’s a parasite
That’s embedded in your brain
Get over it
Get over it
We can’t
