Chapter 16: Anxiety

Darkness (A book full of poems)Words: 606

My heart is beating faster and faster.

Trying to catch my breath.

Leg jumping up, and down

I beg it to stop,

But it won't.

Anxiety is the reason

I feel this way each day.

No matter how many pills

I take;  to help calm it down.

Though the pills don't work.

Anxiety is the reason

That I can't walk up to someone,

And have a normal conversation,

Because I'm worried about what they may  Think of me, or

that I might not say

The right thing.

My heart races

Harder as I begin to pace

The floor all night

Trying to calm down, and can't.

Living with anxiety sucks,

But somehow when it wakes up

It keeps me safe.
