Consciousness Correction

In life,
there are times when anxiety can set in.
Maybe from a person or a place,
then fear can follow.
Seems like anxiety and fear are best friends,
and we do not need them.
In the world of anxiety or fear,
we can meet frustration.
In life,
anxiety with fear like to play with frustration.
From time to time we need,
to sit our consciousness down for a correction.
A deep cleaning on our consciousness,
ridding it from all negative emotions.
This cleaning can set us free to be free,
finding peace within our life.
