Nervous
Things that make us nervous
Vary, each of us unique
In what can cause a racing heart
Or sweat or tears to leak.
A lack of time to be prepared,
Results of tests or scans,
An unexpected twist of fate
To mess up all our plans.
Being forced to face a fear
That freezes us inside;
Having to confront a truth
That’s always been denied.
There are those who never feel
Anxiety; I’d bet
That if they do exist, they aren’t
People I have met.
