surprise , surprise
there was no honeymoon
with anxiety I had to learn to climb for two
breathless, tweaked
sweating while anxiety weighed down on me,
whispering
insisting
uncomfortable to listen
but we are attached
I'll carry you,
till death do us part
or so I thought
worn down
I couldn't climb any higher
losing my patience now

anxiety
not quite as easy to deal with years later
I'm tiring
out
out of my sight
but I hear something coming
I feel the shaking
is it from inside?

Anger
where did you come from
what's in your hand
is that a knife?!

no please
think twice
anger lunged
but to my surprise
stabbed anxiety
told them be quite
cut our tether
and told me to climb f*cken better

goodbye anxiety,
what am I saying
I'm sure you'll follow
I'm sure you'll whisper when angers asleep
I mean you own me, and I you
we married for keeps

ow
my chest what is that
oh its angers hand
it burns
tho observe
it kind of feels good
what is this
it's consuming me
anger takes over
surprise surprise
a new side

thanks to anger I had no time to be aware of anxiety
I had anger screaming in my ear right beside me
breaking ropes before ties were even made
because it's safer to be aggresive
keep the potential problems at bay

anxiety was in the hiding
since anger came out to play

and I won't lie a part of me enjoyed those days
fearlessness in my angry arrogance
and lack of people to problem cause
no more communication issues
cause no one's trying to talk to angry little lady off her rocks
and no more feeling lonely
because people piss me off

it got tiring tho
at some point in time myself was overblown
imploded and then realized anger had to go
good bye anger I said going to relieve the load
surprise surprise
that ended in a tussle
and we both fell , me and anger tumbled
