Anxiety. Poem by Leanne Rhymes

ANXIETY
Why do I get anxious thoughts that flow like an endless river
in my veins and in my mind.
Hard to control worries all tangled up getting everywhere,
Why does Anxiety Blur the lines,
So I cannot see or think clearly in my mind
It makes me feel insecure and self conscious like everyone knows what I am Thinking,
I hide behind a Concrete smile that cannot break even if I feel broken inside.
The Pieces get shattered around but I find ways to get through the storm,
Even on the darkest Days, Writing is my therapy to express what my heart yearns to say,
even when I cannot speak the words seep out to release the feelings
to Stop me breaking down when No-One is around.

Anxiety changes who I am and who I want to be,
as when ANXIETY Calls it makes me Hate and Dislike
the person I am, I don't feel like Me.

Anxiety why can't You see how much You
Control and take over me
in my mind
I feel overwhelmed by the lies you make me
believe, Anxiety Decieves and tricks My Mind
until I lose all Confidence in my abilities
and fall into a pit!

But I will Never let myself just sit and drowned in a sea
of Self Pity!
Anxiety I will take Control and
Get my Life Back and Become
the Person I was Meant to Be!
Anxiety You No Longer
Own Me! ! !
