*Trigger warning*

Hey guys this is my first time posting here, but I wanted to share which is a really huge step for me.
Thanks for reading!

Anxiety is...


Anxiety is over thinking
Every moment feels as though you're sinking. 

Anxiety is waiting for the other shoe to drop
Heart beating so loud and so hard it could stop. 

Anxiety is this rock in my gut 
Knowing you'll say the wrong thing so you keep your mouth shut 

Anxiety is when you're left to worry
Lungs can't take in air and your vision gets blurry. 

Anxiety is an aching pain
Every night losing so much sleep you're barely sane. 

Anxiety is so very tiring
Every moment you fear you're expiring. 

Anxiety is walls closing in
The air around you becomes thin. 

Anxiety is a heart attack
Chest tightening so hard your ribs may crack. 

Anxiety is struggling to stand
Far to panicked to reach out for a hand. 

Anxiety is a perpetual jump scare
Leaving you feeling trapped in a nightmare. 

Anxiety is being lost
Drifting out on a stormy sea that can never be crossed. 

Anxiety is barbed wire
Leaving cuts deep that burn like fire. 

Anxiety is a ton of bricks
Sneaking up on you like dirty tricks. 

Anxiety is being bogged down
Water rising so fast you drown. 

Anxiety is not being able to speak
Because others will see you as a freak. 

Anxiety is questioning reality
Everything is artificial and you need to flee. 

Anxiety is tug of war
Fear wins and shakes you to the core. 

Anxiety is an unlocked cage
Ensuring you will never engage. 

Anxiety is my fight
And I will keep on fighting until I see the light.
