Anxiety,  a deadly virus
Deadlier than death

A storm in an earthquake
Tormenting the earth soul

Anxiety, a spirit from hell pit
Entertain not as a friend
Immortal enemy it be!

Like a burning fire, anxiety
A bad master it is
A servant be not in any season

Anxiety,  a cancerous spiritual plague
Affliction from flames of darkness
Devouring destinies in a quick swoop.

The best laid plans,
like grains of sand
are swiftly streaming
through my hands

Don't get excited
don't celebrate yet
every time I do
I lose the bet

These vapid clichés
Shuttered plays
Days and days
Waste away
Into the endless
tangled fray

A soul is wrought
from the dust of stars
and sewn together
Tapestry of scars
in dawn sky hues
unraveled to find
the fickle muse
of a broken mind
