She's a shadow that lingers,
A constant presence that never withers.
A weight on my chest, a knot in the gut,
A force that takes hold, and never lets up.
She's a whispered voice that never fades,
A haunting presence that never abates.
She tells me lies, she plants the seed,
That I'm not enough, that I'll never succeed.
She's a torrential rain that never stops,
A hurricane that rages, and never drops.
She steals my breath, she takes my calm,
She leaves me shaking, a body of qualm.
She's the doubt that claws at my mind,
The fear that keeps me trapped and confined.
She's the worry that never leaves,
The constant hum that never eases.
She's the storm that brews inside,
The chaos that never subsides.
She's the beast that never sleeps,
The monster that always creeps.
She's a thief that steals my joy, my peace,
A vandal that destroys my inner ease.
She's a poison that seeps into my soul,
A black hole that swallows me whole.
She's the demon that haunts my dreams,
The nightmare that rips apart my seams.
She's the ache that never dulls,
The pain that always lulls.
She is my Anxiety.
