Behind these cold walls
time stretches like silent chains
hope flickers within
All positivity fades
and dies a slow painful death…

Clutching you when you least expect
Coldness like a Zombie’s hand
Little to do or even protect
Fear waves its toxic wand.
–
Heart is racing beating faster
You take deep breaths to try and cope
Your body turns to rigid, skin alabaster
As you grasp at slipping notions of hope.
–
It’s taken you now you’re frozen in place
Triggered and frayed like a live wire
A icy gaunt look on your face
You suffer deep in anxiety’s ire.
–
Its Crippling debilitating
And takes a big toll on
Endlessly contemplating
Until happiness is gone.
–
Many a victim doth it take
Chaining them to over thought
Trying to avoid a break
From a disaster that may be wrought.
–
Stand in strength and hold on fast
Strength inside far more than you know
This internal nagging will not last
Take this opportunity to grow.
–
Take control you got this now.
Your mind drifts back to normalcy
Taking command of your fears, wow
It’s the strongest you can be…
–aaa

Overcrowded places.
Bring out my anxiety.
Remember to breathe.
Don’t let it overwhelm you.
Just be brave and keep going…

I feel like a fraud
What is real and what is not
Am I the only one
Please share this burden with me
We are not alone in this…
