Anxiety

Why do I get anxious thoughts that flow like an endless river

in my veins and in my mind.

Hard to control worries all tangled up getting everywhere,

Why does Anxiety Blur the lines,

So I cannot see or think clearly in my mind

It makes me feel insecure and self conscious like everyone  knows what I am Thinking,

I hide behind a Concrete smile that cannot break even if I feel broken inside.

The Pieces get shattered around but I find ways to get through the storm,

even on the darkest Days, Writing is my therapy to express what my heart yearns

to say, even when I cannot speak the words seep out to release the feelings

to Stop me breaking down when no-one is around.

Anxiety changes who I am and who I want to be,

as when ANXIETY Calls it makes me dislike

the person I am, I don't feel like Me.

 

Anxiety why can't You see how much You

Control and take over me

in my mind

I feel overwhelmed by the lies you make me

believe, Anxiety Decieves and tricks My Mind

until I lose all Confidence in my abilities  and fall into a pit!

I will Never let myself just sit and  drowned in a sea

of Self Pity! 

Anxiety I will take Control and Get my Life Back and Become

the Person I was Desperately  Meant and Want to Be!
Anxiety You No Longer
Own Me!!!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
