Anxious Vibes

Crippling anxiety 
Tearing away from sobriety 
How else do you get through? 
Attempting not to give in 
Struggling to grin 
And bare the macabre 
Heart racing 
Stomach pacing
It’s like a marathon run 
That never ends 
Suffocating feeling
Sounds congealing 
The scars grow deeper 
Running far away 
To the sunny rays 
Of a paradise free of torture

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
