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
