ANXI – Anthony’s Anxiety Poem with Artwork

Poem by Anthony

–

Clutching you when you least expect

Coldness like a Zombie’s hand

Little to do or even protect

Fear waves its toxic wand.

–

Heart is racing beating faster

You take deep breaths to try and cope

Your body turns to rigid, skin alabaster

As you grasp at slipping notions of hope.

–

It’s taken you now you’re frozen in place

Triggered and frayed like a live wire

A icy gaunt look on your face

You suffer deep in anxiety’s ire.

–

Its Crippling debilitating

And takes a big toll on

Endlessly contemplating

Until happiness is gone.

–

Many a victim doth it take

Chaining them to over thought

Trying to avoid a break

From a disaster that may be wrought.

–

Stand in strength and hold on fast

Strength inside far more than you know

This internal nagging will not last

Take this opportunity to grow.

–

Take control you got this now.

Your mind drifts back to normalcy

Taking command of your fears, wow

It’s the strongest you can be…

–aaa
