Anxiety Untold

Shavon Harrington

As worry and stress consume the air, constantly pulling at me.

 

Nervous thoughts take over my mind, dancing with a frenetic beat.

 

Tying knots in my stomach, a relentless feat.

 

Breathing becomes shallow as my heart starts to race.

 

Anxiety tightens its grip, leaving traces of deceit.

 

The world becomes heavy, a burden to bear, as worries and stress consume the air.

 

Each decision feels daunting, each step unsure. Anxiety's grip on life is hard to endure.

    when the spirit is locked
    the key lost
    call the Bouddha

    indeed,
    Auden labelled modernity
    as the 'age of anxiety' for a reason..
    'stay' strong!
    thank you for sharing
    such a relatable read

        I'm so sorry for your loss, dear poet
        I hope that person has finally
        found the peace they were searching for
