Anxiety

Sofia Doellefeld 2010 (Orlando)

Breaking/
Pinging needles/
Choking hands/wrapping around my neck/
The world/dizzying/

Inside my head/
Hell/
A Self-deprecating/high expectations/perfectionist/
Demon lives/

Living in a world/made ten times worse/
By inhibitions/I feed myself/
Never knowing/
Never understanding/not me

Uncontrollable/
Pinging needles/
Choking hands/wrapping around my neck/
The world/dizzying/

Aiming high/deserving low/
No amount/point/
No reason to try/if we all go/
My demon/

A worthy opponent/I am/
Years of battle/bloodless torture/
Who is the enemy/

Endless/
Pinging needles/
Choking hands/wrapping around my neck/
The world/dizzying/
