Dear Anxiety

It’s been awhile since we last spoke. Around maybe a month and a half since I last saw you, which was regularly. So you can imagine the surprise that came when you decided to join me today.

I must say I barely recognized you at first, since I wanted to forget you so much. All day when a little anxiousness took over, I just shrugged it off.

But the feeling of tonight is one that I never forget. You come and whisper terrible things into my ear that beat me down. You attack me with your words until I’m in tears and having trouble breathing.

I want you to know that someday you’re going to be gone, and never return. Someday you will never haunt my nights, and if I ever see you again I will not let you control me.
