Anxiety banishes calm

depression elevates fear

guilt heightens insecurities

jarring kicks like mules

neverending, overthinking...paralysed

questioning redemption - sobriety - truth

unravelling vice-like webbing

xylotomy yields zen

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: Abecedarian that wasn't used for the challenge a few months ago!
