Anxiety

 

Sometimes your mind goes faster than it should

Thoughts spread like wax on wood

If you could stop it then you would

But you can't so you act like it's all good

It's called anxiety, anxiety is what they call it

But something else drives it

Something like trauma or pain

Things of life impacted in your brain

Things that you cannot go back and change

Because they happened to you or someone you loved

They weren't intercepted by the man above

No intervention here just left in disdain

Left with the results of the pain

Out of control like fire and water

Like a bird on a ledge ready to fly

Anxiety has your wings and wants you to die

Up all night, mind's racing again

*** you Anxiety! I can't let you win!
