Think we´ve all met him at some point, this was my reality a number of years ago when growing up.....


Panic

 

 

Feeling how the walls

are closing in on me

 

The Demon of Anxiety

is trying to get in

I can hear him

sharpening his claws

Banging on my door

 

can´t let him in

Must not let him get to me

 

If I turn my back at him

just for a second

He´ll get me

He´ll scratch me with his

claws until I´m all torn up

and the soul´s bleeding

 

Begging...

 

~for mercy~

 

Then he´ll let go

For a while

 

But he won´t get me

Not this time

No, he won´t

I´m strong now

 

But it´s a constant battle

in a never-ending fight

for what´s my right

 

~my inner-peace~

We all want that feeling of inner peace. I have had those feelings before but could never put them to words. Great job!!!

Not an easy emotion to describe, yet this seems to be the exception, very well written indeed.

No matter what upholding strength you give anything in life, there will always be an amount of opposition... and you displayed that here. Fantastic. 4.
