Grey is black in the world I live
So are the thoughts I struggle with
Nothing is simple, straightforward or clear
I hope the end to this is near

It takes over my thoughts and takes control
It segments my brain so it's no longer whole
It muddles my thoughts and causes confusion
No problems I face have a logical conclusion

It's like a stormy sea that pulls me under
It invades my world like a raging thunder
It blows through my mind like a hurricane
It's like a monsoon that drives me insane

Even when I show happy its not always true
Its a painted smile when inside I'm blue
Sometimes I just want to curl up in a ball
As deep into darkness I begin to fall

They say to pop tablets and be strong of will
But that doesn't work it flows over me still
Now I must decide if I turn to the light
Will the darkness get me? Do I flee or fight?

I know what to do I know what is right
So let battle commence I refuse to take flight
Anxiety do your worst bring it on
There can only be one winner, and I'll be that one!
