Heaping mountains

Of building doubt

Block your front door

You can’t get out.

–

Your heart races 

Your pulse is high

Anxiety 

Makes your brain fry.

–

It’s in your head 

Many friends say

They just don’t know

It’s not child’s play.

–

All emotions

At once you feel

This isn’t fake

It’s harshly real.

–

Believing mind

Over matter 

It’s not a choice

Some are shattered.

–

Much braver than 

A lion’s pride

Building up strength

Going outside.

–

So keep in mind

Some don’t come near 

Not for spite but 

Deep seated fear…
