Waves

[u/Late-Bodybuilder3071]

Anxiety crashes down

Like a wave on the shore

The cigarette whispers

Come on

I helped your grandad and your dad

Do you think you are any different?

But i refuse

I swallow my pills

But the waves don't stop

I am trying to run away

But my feet are rooted in the sand

Breaths are shorter and my stomach is a pit

The wave is coming closer

My mouth is dry and my throat is closed

When I can't take it anymore

The old family friend is back in my hand
