Anxiety
It's okay
It's not okay
Look up
No look down
Calm down
Freak out
I come randomly
There is no Stopping me
Sweaty palms
Teary eyes
Stuttering voice
I'm the fear inside
You keep hidden
Unheard and unseen
Over and over I say the words
That make your heart beat faster and faster
I make you a prisoner in your own mind
I'm a daily reminder
Thoughts bathed into your mind
I keep you up at night...
Weak, Emotional, Fragile
Words I ground you with.
Everything is still
But I make it seem like a earthquake is happening
You either lose me
Or lose yourself…
But sometimes
We just flow together
To make peace
And breathe to realize
I'm just thoughts,
Thoughts no one but yourself can
Understand

The Narrator is Anxiety
When I created this poem I wanted other people to conncet to it and realize thier not alone on what they think or feel about a situlation
I have Social Anxitey, I wrote this to myself but a teacher told me "hey, you might wanna post this because there might be people out there who will understand and connect to it" and to be honest I do think there are people out there that will read my poem and feel a little happy that people can understand what your doing though, yeah its gonna be hard but I believie you're an amzing person.
(It would really make me happy to find out that someone really likes my poem)
cya!
