Anxiety

Anxiety creeps in like a thief in the night,

Stealing my peace and filling me with fright.

It grips me tightly, won't let me go,

Leaving me feeling lost and alone.

My thoughts race like a train off its tracks,

I can't catch my breath, my heart rate attacks.

The world spins around me, out of control,

And I'm left feeling like a prisoner in my own soul.

My chest tightens, my palms grow cold,

I feel like I'm drowning, no one to hold.

The weight on my shoulders, too much to bear,

I can't escape it, it's always there.

Anxiety, my constant companion,

Threatening to consume me, to make me undone.

I try to fight it, but it's too strong,

And I'm left feeling like I don't belong.

But I know deep down, there's hope to be found,

I won't let anxiety keep me down.

I'll seek out help and hold on tight,

And find my way back into the light.
