Anxiety

Anxiety, a shadow that haunts me day and night,

A constant worry that I cannot quite fight.

A storm of thoughts that leaves me in a daze,

A feeling of fear that I cannot escape.

A heart that races, a mind that won't slow,

A burden so heavy, I don't know where to go.

I try to calm down, but it's all in vain,

For anxiety's grip is just too insane.

The weight of the world is crushing my chest,

A whirlwind of thoughts that I cannot rest.

A voice that whispers, a nagging pain,

A feeling of hopelessness I cannot explain.

But I know I must fight, I must rise above,

For the battle with anxiety is something I must love.

I'll find my strength, and I'll find my voice,

For I am a warrior, with a heart full of poise.

So I take a deep breath, and I close my eyes,

And I whisper a prayer to the sky above.

And I know that I'll conquer this beast in my mind,

For I am strong, and I am not confined.
