Poison

You are the poison in my veins

You are the tricks my mind plays

You are the storm and the rage

You are the darkness on a sunny day

The reason I can’t sleep at night

The reason I live in such fright

The reason I think too much

The reason I never feel like I’m enough

The cause of all my insecurities

The cause of all my worrying

The cause of all my nightmares

The cause of all my blank stares

Why I hate what I see in the mirror

Why I hate that I can’t see my visions clearer

Why I hate the fact that I overthink

Why I hate that I can hardly fall asleep

Why I always feel like others are staring

Why I always feel as though no one’s caring

Why I always feel the need to be perfect

Why I always feel the need to unplug every circuit

You are the poison in my veins

You are the reason my mind goes insane

You are the only one to blame

But you are only anxiety they say
