There is a weight on my chest.
There’s a sadness in my eyes
Much to my surprise these days just happen
I’ll be content with my life and the next thing you know
I’m gasping for air and struggling to breath
My anxiety and depression take over me
It’s not an on and off switch that I can just tamper with
I never know when it’s going to strike
But when it does I have flood gates for eyes
My heart feels heavy and strained
I feel deep throbbing pains
What could it be that puts me in this state
What triggers me to have skin as thin as paper and a heart as cold as ice
Childhood memories resurfaced
Or that time that I was left broken and unwanted
I’m perfectly happy one second and the next I’m a wreck 
But I’ve learned that it’s ok
It's OK to feel sad to cry
If you are happy smile If you are sad cry
This is the beauty of life
Allow yourself to feel
This will go away all in due time
Until then I wait with this weight on my chest
