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.)
