Everybody Will Suffer From Anxiety. Poem by David Boyce

Everybody will suffer from anxiety.

Many people cannot cope,
With bouts of anxiety,
This is often triggered,
But events or an anniversary.

You may start to get palpitations,
And an unusual racing heart,
You may not realise the symptoms,
But this could just be the start.

You may start to feel anxious,
And your emotions start to swell,
You may cry for no apparent reason,
But not realise that you are unwell.

Your body has its own ways,
Of coping with problems and fears,
Your body may give you signs,
Like shakes and lots of tears.

Be prepared to ask for help,
It could be an anxiety attack,
With a little support and comfort,
You could soon be back on track.

Everybody will suffer from anxiety,
At some point throughout their life,
Especially suffering bereavements,
Or everyday troubles and strife.
