Anxiety sucks
It’s something that you wish you didn’t know
It’s that beating in your chest
The gasp of air in your breath
The feeling of doubt
Of pain
Of disbelief
That it won’t get better
Those lies that your anxiety spews
That makes your thoughts run through and through
Sweaty palms and beady eyes
When will these feelings die
What is life without worry
When will I stop feeling like I have to scurry
Take a step back and breathe it in
Tell yourself that you won’t let anxiety win
This time you’re not alone
How a seven letter word
Can make 1 in 5 know the struggle all too well
Read a book
Take a bath
Do what you gotta do to relax
Breathe it in, breathe it out
Fight to win
Anxiety I will not give in.
