ANXI – Anthony’s Anxiety Poem with Artwork

-M.A.D.

Poem by Anthony

ANXI – Anthony’s Crazy Love and Life Lessons in Empathy (wordpress.com)

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…

Artwork-Hibiscus Flower

I love how this flower turned out, not only how I drew it, but also how I colored it as well. It is one of my all time favorite flower pictures that I have drawn.

Anthony’s Poem: Connie the Crossed-Eyed Crocodile with artwork


Poem by Anthony

Connie the Crossed-Eyed Crocodile – Anthony’s Crazy Love and Life Lessons in Empathy (wordpress.com)

Connie was a cross-eyed crocodile

Exploring a book took her quite a while.

She’d start left and then right

And be reading all night.

Aesop’s Fables are her style…

Alone

No one to hold me, no one to chase

The days stretch on endlessly, a never-ending night
No one to share my thoughts, no one to hold tight
I long for connection, for someone to see
The loneliness inside me, the ache to be free

I reach out in the darkness, but no one is there
I cry out for comfort, but no one will care
I am lost in this void, this vast empty space
Alone in my loneliness, with tears on my face

But I know deep inside, that this too shall pass
That the sun will shine again, that this pain will not last
I hold onto hope, that one day I’ll find
A kindred spirit, a love that is kind

So I’ll weather this storm, this lonely night
And trust in the promise, that everything will be right
For even in my solitude, I am not truly alone
For love will find me, and make this heart its home.

Anthony’s Poem: Zach, the Forgetful Elephant and Artwork

Poem by Anthony

Zach, the Forgetful Elephant – Anthony’s Crazy Love and Life Lessons in Empathy (wordpress.com)

Zach, a young elephant was upset

Since unlike his contemporaries, he’d always forget.

Homework, notes, the ladder for his bunk

If it wasn’t attached he’d misplace his trunk.

Consuming more ginseng would be a sure bet…

Heinrich, a Happy Hippopotamus – Anthony’s Crazy Love and Life Lessons in Empathy (wordpress.com)

Heinrich was a hippo Henry for short

Not the typical hippo of sorts.

His double-sized chin

Always carries a grin.

In laughter, often snort…

Waterfall Artwork & Poem

Poem by Anthony

Precious Waterfall

Bathe me in your falls.
Pure essence cleansing me clean.
Washing away pain.
Purify my very soul.
Easing me to peace and grace…
-AAA 06/20/2024

I have always been fascinated with waterfalls, and because of this, I decided to try my hand at drawing one. I feel that it came out okay for my first attempt. I will definitely give it another shot soon.

Artwork Outside my Window

This was the first time I drew something totally by hand and did not have a step by step instructions on how to. I created the view that I see outside of my room at my home. I love the way that it turned out.

Sonic the Hedgehog

Here are a couple of my drawings on Sonic the hedgehog. I know I have some other drawings of him, but I need to look for them. As a dedicated fan of the Sonic video game series, I have always found inspiration in its vibrant characters and dynamic world. Sonic’s unparalleled speed and adventurous spirit have always resonated. I sought to convey Sonic’s energy and determination in every piece.

Sirius Black

I’m totally obsessed with the Harry Potter world, and I’ve got to admit, Sirius Black is my absolute favorite character. There’s just something about his mysterious vibe, his fierce loyalty, and his multifaceted personality that really fascinates me. I was like super determined to capture his essence.

Baby Yoda

I created this piece on May 4th in honor of the ‘May the 4th be with you’ celebration, but I didn’t have the chance to finish it at the time. Now, I’m excited to announce that I’ve completed it and I’m overjoyed to share it with everyone. I put a lot of thought and effort into this, and I genuinely hope that you all like it.
