A Poem For Your Thoughts

Anxiety Be Damned

How can I explain this feeling in my brain,

The constant ticking down, the alarm without a sound

The breath stuck and compressed, lodged inside my chest

The thoughts just swirl round, a missed step upon the ground

The moment just before, your phone will hit the floor

Stretched through out the day, until my convictions sway

Through no fault of my own, I feel better left alone

Then I'll be at ease, with no one left to please

Like a child on a cliff, pulled back before they trip

Or when clouds begin to part, and the downpour never starts

It's not easy to explain, since anxiety's insane

But when im in your arms, subjected to your charms

The pressure thaws to peace, with emotional release

Your patient tone of speech, how you guide but never preach

You silence all the noise, that overwhelmed my many joys

You're the salve to my affliction, the most empowering addiction

At last now I am free, to be all I'm meant to be,

Your kindness paved the way, so now just let me say,

I cannot thank you near enough, for when you called my final bluff,

And allowed me to enjoy it, when you used me as your toilet.
