My Anxiety Battle by Chloe Rachel

I feel alone and so scared,
Feeling like no-one has any time to spare.
Forever been told "you shouldn't feel this way",
But only if you knew I feel like this everyday.
I know you're thinking "you're always so happy",
But have you ever noticed that I get so snappy?
I'm tough and strong - so you all think,
Have you gave it a thought that's why I binge drink.
To have that escape just for a night,
To get through my minds own fight.
I'm my own worst enemy you see,
And the bully victim is me.
Taunting myself until I feel unworthy,
I plead with myself for mercy.
Thoughts of suicide make me so afraid,
Ways I could go keep on replayed.
I cry alone so no one can hear,
My heartbreaking tears over all my fears.
My heart is so heavy and frantically beating,
Still keeping me alive with my weeping.
These demons live inside my head,
Naming all the reasons I deserve to be dead.
So when I'm having a bad day,
Be careful of all the things you might say.
So how would you feel if I was dead and gone,
Because I know what ever you say is a con.

Chloe Flisher, your poem reads honest and true, some very animated wordplay, superb characterization, 'personality' comes through, even though the subject matter is hard and gritty, there is much integrity in your poetry, terrific reading, and welcome to cosmo; excellent first offering, cheers

Chin up Chloe, great poem. I also battle with anxiety & alcohol. I'm also from the north east.
Take care - Syd
