Anxiety

The thoughts inside my head
Pester me
Every moment of everyday.
They keep me awake,
Keep me on my toes,
Taking control over my brain.
I worry daily,
Not able to control my emotions -
It takes a toll.
Daily rituals I complete
Just to keep the thoughts
At bay,
To keep myself tame.
On the outside you wouldn't know
That I'm scrambling to hold
It together;
A perfect life,
Going to be the
Perfect wife,
But on the inside
These thoughts eat me alive,
Wondering if I'll survive
Another day.
