Those Anxious Thoughts
Ever since birth anxious lived in me
anxious was the cause of my stammer
or did my stammer make me anxious
certainly, nothing made me calmer
The thought of school life, oh dear!
every day there certainly I did hate
tension-filled my air that I felt
I asked myself is this my fate?
Then into the world of work
speaking to many of every kind
every time my tongue so anxious
anxious for my life I signed
Now retired really first class
don't need to speak only if asked
control all anxious thoughts
now covid says wear your mask!
(This is my thoughts on my life of anxiety)
(Quote:
"Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions - not outside" - Marcus Aurelius)
