Anxiety

anxiety creeps and steals my sleep,
depression drags the soul too deep.
Breaths are heavy, nights are long,
thoughts collide, a jumbled song.
Yet still a spark refuses to die,
whispering softly, “you’ll survive.”

Honestly, I have no words. This is one of the best poems I've read. The last two lines- thank you. This is beautiful. Consider submitting it elsewhere and get it published if you would like. Well done, Chloe.
