sometimes I feel alone.

sometimes I feel small.

sometimes I feel the space is too big.

or not big enough.

sometimes it feels like the walls are coming in,

sometimes it feels they are too wide.

living with anxiety is a struggle.

especially when things change, people die, people you never knew about enter your life.

every day is a victory when I can say hey I made it.

today I didn’t cry, today I didn’t hyperventilate, today my chest didn’t cave in,

today is a good day, a great day even. I feel light and free. I enjoy it now. I soak it in.

i know I’ll have another day that the walls cave in or are no where to be found.

For now I will take this victory. I will dance. I will play and I will sing.

for this is living with anxiety.
