Overwhelmed by Anxiety

  Anxiety grips my heart like a vice,
As I struggle with this overwhelming device,
My mind races and my thoughts collide,
Leaving me feeling lost and terrified.

The weight of the world feels like it's on my shoulders,
As I struggle to keep up with life's boulders,
My breaths come quick and shallow,
And I can't shake off this sense of being hollow.

Every task feels like an insurmountable feat,
And my mind is consumed by a constant beat,
Of worry, fear, and endless doubt,
As I try to figure my way out.

The walls around me seem to close in,
And the world feels like a constant spin,
I long for a moment of peace and calm,
To escape this cycle and find a balm.

But for now, I must face this anxiety head-on,
And find the strength to carry on,
To remember that I am not alone,
And that I have the power to make this my own.

So I take a deep breath and let it out slow,
And remind myself that I am stronger than I know,
That I can face this overwhelming tide,
And find my way to the other side.
