Libérer l'anxiété

Dealing with anxiety is something,

That you would want to avoid for sure.

But even if it comes to you,

Don't behave like there isn't any cure.

Such was the case of professor Nazia,

Who, after her education, had stepped into the college for the very first time.

She had dwelled in disquietude all her life,

And certainly thought that her first day would be as sour as lime.

There did exist a coyness,

It actually was because of her scars.

The scars that had occurred on her face,

in an acid attack in her car.

Nazia somehow coped with it and made herself indispensable,

But this time the same feeling had returned, out of the blue,

Everywhere she went there were people staring at her,

Every chance that she grabbed, people didn't cooperate and wished her an adieu.

The moment she entered the class,

Stares didn't stop, it indeed was cringeworthy,

They started whispering amongst themselves,

And cracked jokes that were frothy.

All were brats, except for this one girl,

Who sat in the corner, looking at her in awe.

Nazia didn't know how to respond,

She stood still embarrassed of her flaw.

That girl came forward, rubbed Nazia's shoulder,

And in a hushed voice, she said, 

"Currently you are dwelling in anxiety and have become too weak,

Just take a deep breath, rely on yourself, and make sure there are no tears to shed."

Nazia now had a spark in her eyes,

And looked at that girl with hope.

The girl further said, "this world will always pull you down,

It will discourage you and turn you into a mope.

But you need to be adamant and have faith in yourself,

No matter what happens, trust the timing of your life,

All the things are positive or negative, happen for the good,

And you'll get through the negative ones without any strife."

This motivated Nazia and how,

The angel in disguise lightened her up with her magic wand,

A magic wand in form of words, kind words,

That nobody had showered upon her, not even the ones with whom she shared the best of the bond.

.

Thereafter, Nazia lived her life with her head held high. Anxiety never affected her nor did her scars. She was comfortable in her skin and praised herself the way she was. Because that's where eternal beauty lies :)

Don't wait for an angel to come and light up your life. Be your own candle and sparkle happiness everywhere! Dealing with anxiety and overcoming it, is probably the most powerful thing you will ever do. Learn to own your mistakes and flaws. Embrace it with grace, because that's where growth lies. Own your tomorrow and continue shining without worrying about society. 

Remember, you are the best version of yourself and will continue to be one!
