Late at night,
Early in the morning
During school
Playing with friends
Relaxing at home
It doesn't matter
It's always there
Following me like a child
A child named Anxiety
Filled with fear
Unable to control it
Spreading the fear to everyone
It's always there following me
For as long as I can remember
Always making me think of bad things
Things that scare me
Things that someone my age shouldn't be scared of
Things that keep me up at night
Things that make me sad
Things that make me unable to focus on anything else
These things
They are not my thoughts
I don't want these thoughts
Sadly there is no escape
Only distractions that last for a little while
I will never be able to escape
