Anxiety, to me at least
Is kind of like a kind of beast
It's always there and sometimes small
But other times it's 10 feet tall
It follows around telling me I'm wrong
Believe me when I say it's strong
I think it thinks it's trying to help
But it does nothing good for my mental health
Anxiety is a monster I can't escape
I try to talk and it leaves my mouth agape
The words unable to flow clearly
And then I'm stuttering severely
The words tumble out of my mouth
But they aren't quite right and it's all going south
I feel the pressure building up
Anxiety devours my embarrassment by the cup
And suddenly I just can't breathe
It feels like somethings choking me
I feel my heart with every beat
And in my head it just repeats
"You're so stupid, look at what you've done"
Suddenly I wish I had a gun
Just get the thoughts out of my head
My hands go numb, my face is red
Will I ever be okay again?
If I will please tell me when
When did everything start to shake
I'm making too many mistakes
I feel my walls caving in
Now everything starts to spin
And suddenly it all goes black
Just another anxiety attack

- Comment from author about the poem: Anxiety is really extremely not fun and if you don't have it then you are very lucky in that sense. Please tell me what you think. Constructive criticism is always welcomed.
