Anxiety: a Fight To the End

One finds themselves full of anxiousness you don't know where it starts and unsure when it will finish its mark is left deep in your heart In this battle, one wants to overcome a spirit within to never ever retire have a believing faith slowly move on don't stop just keep lighting your fire Don't allow your embers to go out pour in your coal to constantly burn attack this stressful fearful anxiety believing in victory that it will turn In the midst of an anxiety attack dig deep into your resources of calm bring them up to quell your stress allowing to develop such a sweet balm (Because of the pandemic, a lot of people are facing fear, a lot of people are facing anxiety. But the battle does not just stop there, because in addition to anxiety, is the stigma. So I have written this in response to encourage those fighting this stigma.)
