Amy Smith-Galer Poet Rhyme

Mr Anxiety

I feel like I am drowning
Cant pull myself ashore
Floating further away 
From the me
I Know no more

Sinking in my thoughts
crippling in self doubt
Please try not to listen
Let the negative thoughts be out

I feel like I am trapped
Stuck within my head
Overthinking
Worrying
I should be looking ahead

Replaying failed scenarios
From years and years ago
Why are they so relevant 
Only Mr Anxiety knows

My smile it hides my struggles
My mask it hides my fears
My forehead slightly sweating
Here comes a few more tears
My body's tight with tension
My heart in rapid beat

I must stop giving my attention 
To Mr Anxiety.

Natasha L Scragg August 16, 2021 at 4:26 AM Wow Amy! I think that so many people will be able to relate to this. I like the way you personify Anxiety. These troubles are our hidden enemies and often the victims are the ones misunderstood. This poem will help to raise awareness. Thanks for sharing this one. :)
