Oh anxiety
You sway like the tides of the sea
Oh no, have mercy on me
You’re here pouncing
like a predator to its prey
engulfing me slowly
like an ice-cold blanket
You drag me
into the vacuum of space
Flying into nothing!everything!
At the speed of light
I try to comprehend you
But you’re more invisible
Than the sun at night

I try to reason with you
But you hold no hostages
I’m yours for the time
Are you aware of the damages?
Well you bring them out to light
And all my secrets
Rush to my head
My mind plays tricks
When will this end?
I’ll just have to wait you out
And when you’re done
I have to pick myself up
And move on
With you as part of my life
