Anxiety Poems | Examples of Anxiety Poetry

Too hyper. Caffeine and nicotine, a constant cycle on repeat. Fidgety, can't sit still. Can't sit still. Not enough caffeine, not enough nicotine, not enough tattoos. Can't stand the silence. Listening to the waves' crashing to drown out the spiral of thoughts racing through my head. Brain, a constant whirlwind of thoughts. Maybe just one more drag of nicotine? Maybe a...

Heart beating too rapid to keep count, striking a beat to its own drum. Breath like hot acid with every forced inhale. Mouth now too wet, tongue feels too big for where it used to fit. Skin too hot, now slick with cold sweat. Stomach dropping like you just fell three...

If I could hit pause. If I could hit replay. Just for one more day, to not overthink or sink. Just to converse and try not to curse. To not be overly friendly or overly petty. To not be overly stark or overly dark. Maybe one day....

I don’t suppose you’ll worry Till the conflicts on your door The world wounds are now festering No longer just a sore. Lift up your arms to peace my friends It’s time to make amends Danger is looming closer see it through Gods lens The drivers of this carnage are fuelled with bitter hate It’s not just about a country, It’s...

In the blink of an eye As thoughts are most often linked , Ours minds eye attracts as if by instinct, You become so distraught & than come alive , Sparking a thought that's barely revived , Causing a cosmic divide of prayers built from love , Thankfully blessed like the flight of a dove , As you look back from...

Kindred Spirit Mirrored reflections ingrained in our fate , Her thoughts shining inward designed to sedate , Heart beats sings softly with thunderous tunes, Storms infiltrate morning as we strive to assume, Relentless intentions meant to keep us immune, We stare at the full moon it’s light our cocoon. So travel so softly & reach for the stars , Our fiercest intentions...

There once was a man who loved guns With women he hit no home runs He'd whip out his round And shoot it outbound While wishing to target their buns...

There’s this voice that echoes inside of me,in the pit of my soul He has long sharp nails, with which he tears down the walls of my heart,peice by piece Every time my foot steps on the grass, greener than the day before He pulls me down into the Earth And I am submerged into the sea Filled with...

Alcohol to numb the pains. Cigarettes to taste something other than hate. Sex to escape the constant loud voices in my head. Makeup to hide the broken girl inside. So put together, so stylish, so grown up and mature. Little did they know that girl was always manic, depressed, and anxious....

Cancer, a six-letter word that doesn’t mean much to most people. Then the word suddenly has more power than a shot to the chest. You think, am I still breathing? You go to the bathroom to try to pull yourself together, to share the pain with someone else. As the phone rings, you think you...

Flash backs, hitting like a bucket of ice water in a steaming shower. Never did I think they could come without me losing my breath or letting tears slip. They hit like a blackout right on a normal day, when you think they finally have gone away it sneaks up on you like you are...

Sisyphus’ Lament I took each hard punch And swallowed each raw pill. But you said it wasn’t a fair fight And I agree, But you didn’t watch My tears each night, No, they weren’t For you to see. And I agree, So you watched me Push that boulder Up that hill With a sickened grin of evil glee....

When the Language Merge** I walked into Bobby Department Store and yelled, “Where are the Jamaicans and Barbadians?” This might sound a little strange to most people; however, it’s that time of year when all the languages and dialects merge, accompanied by the authentic accents from their respective places. Plus, there's always a bit of rudeness...
