Anxiety

Heart racing, thoughts ablaze

Trembling hands, a deepening haze

Breath caught in chest, a suffocating phase

Anxiety, a demon I cannot erase

It creeps and crawls, a constant threat

Whispers of worry, an endless fret

I try to shake it off, but it's already set

Anxiety, a foe I cannot forget

In crowds, in silence, it's always there

A gnawing fear, a persistent scare

I long to break free, to breathe some air

Anxiety, a weight I cannot bear

But in the depths of my despair

I find a glimmer, a tiny flare

I'll face this demon, I'll dare

Anxiety, I'll conquer you, I swear

So let the heart race, the thoughts blaze

I'll steady my hands, clear the haze

I'll take a deep breath, a calming phase

Anxiety, I'll overcome you, in unique ways.
