For
I am a young woman of poise and rationality
but there are times when I'm nothing but scared.
People pass and go but surely they'll never know
Anxiety is
Not a friend
That I can comprehend
Yet I try to mend
What I can not unbend
By trying to blend
With people I depend
So I don’t transcend
Toward a dead end
i’m breathing in and out
rapid and unsteady
i have serious doubt
finding i am unready
i don’t know what to do
i’m pacing
i couldn’t possibly see this through
my heart is racing
Something's not right.It's sudden and sinister.Making my chest feel tight,an unwelcome visitor.
Suddenly my heartbeats beats beatsI’m going to fall apartI want this to cease.
Beware of the retreating whisperer, who whispers into the heart of man.Beware of the invisible force that dwellswithin the clouds and manifests without warning.
Dear Anxiety,
Please leave me alone.
Am I such a pitiful being,
a delicate soul,
that you find so amusing to mess with?
Is it easy for you?
Do I make it easy for you?
