Not Today Anxiety
The swirling of the wind the craziness in my eyes
The deep gurgling water that will soon arise
The trembling of my movements as i shift and pace
My heartbeat that is pounding as if to win a race
Sat still in my chair telling myself i'm fine
I’m asked if i want some water to which i decline
Pull yourself together now, there is nothing to fear
Its calling though, its all i hear
Anxiety is speaking, louder by the minute
Adrenaline is rushing through it has no limit
Go away i think and push it aside
Anxiety wants me to leave, it doesn’t want to abide
Sat still in my chair i refuse to move
You see anxiety, i have learnt to self sooth
I pick up my pen and continue to write
Not today anxiety, now get out of my sight
