Sometimes the anxiety

tries to eat me alive

somedays I escape,

get some stuff done;

redye my hair,

make a good meal,

dance, clean, create.

Somedays though,

it consumes me,

no matter how I try.

The difference is;

pure sheer luck

and chemicals

I have no control over,

both days I’m trying,

the difference is…

One gets recognized

as truly making an effort,

and the other?

Well, it gets seen as

being lazy, difficult,

by both myself

and society.
