Anxiety Poems | Examples of Anxiety Poetry

I tried, I tried really really hard. To be good enough, smart enough. I became who he wanted me to be, a good son who praised him. Still that wasn’t enough, nowhere near enough. I was no longer me. I thought God was the same as dad. So I hid myself. A cosmic game of Hide and seek. That was when I learned,...

I’ve knocked on every door of medicine men— doors painted with hope. Swallowed pills of every size and colour. Been told, “This one never fails.” Another promise— fulfilled only in disappointment. The body that once felt mine now feels like a stranger’s— still wearing my name tag. I sleep early, trying to rinse myself from pain, but wake up still dressed in it. The coat I wear? Pain-stitched— by a tailor...

Wake up Stop dreaming Hear the birds chirping Thank God for the blessings Each breath is a gift Breathe in Focus on your role Hit the core with a heart of gold Stay low-key, no time to envy Seek discipline Kneel to the Man who never sinned...

My hair is enough, my eyes are enough My lips are enough, my face is enough My legs are enough, my hips are enough My skin is enough, my body is enough I am me, I am me, I accept all that I see, all that I see I am free, I am free just to be me, just to...

Moon juice paired, With gems & stones. Candle lit, With intent on a scroll. Storms have brewed, In a 5 year drought. Now I'm calling, The spirits out. Listen close, To the spirits voice. They're already here, They all rejoice. Raven perched, On a flimsy limb. Saying, Forever more again & again. Storms have brewed, In a 5 year drought. Make no mistake, They are...

I sit alone beneath the sky, Uncle, thinking of your last goodbye, The world feels heavy, dreams unclear, With every step, I carry fear. Graduation looms - so close, so wide, But doubt and worry walk beside. You always knew just what to say… I wish you could be here today...

In the spirit of hope, we contemplatively search Beyond the horizon for the mystic exorcism Of the pandemic deaths proliferating from The disparity reigning from viral social And political infestations decimating We selected targeted ones of color:- And the audacity of such hope, must be sought Within the horizon of the spirit of our mind and soul, Where abides the power exorcism infused...

What More Can Be Taken I came from a house where love never stayed, Where fists did the talking and kindness decayed. Where silence was safer than saying a word, And a child’s small heartbreak was never once heard. I ran to the bottle, to smoke and to fire, Chased numbness like peace, sank deep in the vile. Got locked in a...

I dwelt within a house of shade, By silent hand and sorrow made. Each brick I laid with trembling care— Of shame, of guilt, of cold despair. No hearth did warm, no lamp did gleam, But dimness thick as haunted dream. No welcome waits behind the door, Only the hush of evermore. The days are long, yet never bright, And stretch like wounds into...

Alone I rot, yet no one cares to see, The darkness deep within me. I reach for loving hands, Yet all I get is emptiness in these dark lands. My voice is lost like whispers on the sea. The wind may howl, But no one will think of me. I am a forgotten soul, Never to feel whole. They dance in warmth, while night...

The world is bleeding and it seems no one can do a thing to stop it. There's desperation in the urgent need for healing and no one seems to care. They've given up, it's probably too late as the planet spins out of control. The greed of men seems boundless, does no one see the coming of the end? AP: 3rd place 2025 Submitted on July...

I often struggle to make peace with nagging relapses that, like endless tides, come then I need to chase away. Intrusive rekindlings of loss, of wanting to resurrect the past, each time needing to go through the motions of convincing myself it's pointless. Confined, trapped, buckled in, I ride this live rollercoaster that leaves me feeling disillusioned, frustration having a bitter rancid taste. AP: Honorable Mention 2025...

Hopelessness When your body and mind are disconnected When your falling in a sea of darkness and accept it When the silence is loud you can hear your heartbeat It's the feeling of a deep pit In your stomach All the contents of your stomach being Consumed by it Replaced by the feeling of sickness Leaving a...

no i wouldn't die for you. i wouldn't, and i'm not sorry. i spent too long hiding in the shadows, waiting lurking wanting and hoping that they'd see that I would have. in an instant, i would have. a bullet, a train, a grenade, a pile of pills. i would've taken any of them for anyone. but instead, life shot me with an arrow. life gave me you. this...
