Anxiety

Anxiety follows me around

You creep up on me when I least expected

Making my heart race

Pounding like a drum

Repeating in my head


Taking my breath away

Leaving me feeling afraid

Afraid of the endless possibilities you fill my head

Afraid of what might come next


But I won’t let you control me 

You won’t hold me back

Ill take that one deep big breath 

And remind myself Im still me

Im okay


Anxiety may always be apart of me

But will never define me

Ill move forward after every step I take 

That you will try and pull me down

Ill keep moving

Ill never stop

Because Anxeity is only real in my head

Blocking out the screaming noise that fills my head


Why did you do that

They will laugh at you

Everyone is disappointed


But that’s just my mind

So I take my deep breaths

Look around the room

And realize its not real.
