It’s an illness,

Inside, all around, it defines me

It’s invisible to a certain degree

It’s been a part of me since I was three

I’ve tried to put it under lock and key

Anxiety

It’s an unwanted gift from society

It’s undeniably

A part of me

One day it’s going to crush me

So go ahead and shun me

But I’m telling you

It grew when I was two

It’s impossible to undo

Kinda like the flu

But it’s stuck to me like glue,

It came from out of the blue

I didn’t have a clue,

Why was it still there when I grew?

It’s either me or this flu

Yeah, in the end, it’s either me or this flu

They say it’ll go away

But I know

Forever it’ll stay

And put my life at play

And change the shape of it as if it were clay

It’ll turn me into a slave

All I can do is pray

To be brave

And not become it’s prey

I know that until my hair turns grey

It will stay
