Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
Every waking moment besieged,
Eyes flutter open, there it looms,
A relentless presence, sealing my doom.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
Lying in bed, trapped in dread,
To rise or to stay, the dilemma weighs,
A prisoner of my own anxious maze.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
Mind racing, thoughts in disarray,
A cacophony of worries, a tangled thread,
I’m lost in a whirlwind, one and two and red.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
Simple tasks become a futile chase,
Even in solitude, uncertainty strikes,
To shower or sit, decision spikes.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
Second-guessing my every move,
Lists made and promptly erased,
Frustration mounting, sanity misplaced.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
Dysphoria whispers in the mirror’s gaze,
A distorted reflection, a cruel charade,
Self-image shattered, confidence swayed.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
Workday chaos, thoughts a blur,
Disarray reigns, tasks disjointed,
A constant struggle, feeling thwarted.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
Struggling to pen these lines,
Words scattered, focus fleeting,
In a mental storm, I’m left reeling.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
Repeated attempts, each one a mess,
Handwriting shaky, clarity lost,
Overwhelmed by the mental cost.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
Reaching out, seeking solace,
But silence echoes, doubts unfurl,
Fear grips tight, a heart in whirl.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
Listening to friends, their tales untold,
Yet their burdens weigh heavy,
A fragile thread, my resolve tested bold.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
In solitude, the noise persists,
Unsettling whispers, an eerie dread,
Haunted by thoughts, alive and dead.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
Longing to purge the toxic brew,
But even if I could expel,
It would return, relentless and cruel.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
Struggling to navigate life’s rhyme,
A constant battle, an endless fight,
In the depths of despair, I seek a light.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
Grasping at straws, striving for control,
Yet the void remains, gaping and wide,
A gaping hole where peace should reside.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
I know in time, it may wane,
But for now, I’m shackled tight,
Bound by fear, in endless night.
Anxiety, it’s suffocating me,
Please, just let me be,
If only for a moment, a fleeting reprieve,
Release your grip, and let me breathe.
