Anxiety Intruder
It just turns up
like an uninvited guest
Putting me to the test
It sits there waiting
Im not impressed
Waiting for my weakness
Sneaking around my veins
It overpowers me
Like a snake
But i'm awake
Shivers, shakes, a dark place
I breathe slow and steady
I'm ready
Letting go I feel giddy
It starts moving towards the door
I need to focus on my happy thoughts
Yellow, pink, orange and blue
Squirrels and Robins
Trees and flowers
Family and friends
Love is true
It flies out of the door
I am me once more
I am ready
The door is locked
I'm safe again.
