Anxiety, anxiety, anxiety. Why is there such a thing as anxiety? I can't take it anymore. The choices the decisions is all anxiety producing. Choices, choices, choices, so many decisions to make and that's so anxiety producing. I wish life were without anxiety. Anxiety, it keeps me from functioning normally. It makes me wanna do not good stuff like cut........ So can anyone please explain to me what good does anxiety bring?

oh dreadful anxiety
you give me no rest
constantly there
nagging me

oh dreadful anxiety
you torture me
suffocate me
blind me

oh dreadful anxiety
think
worry
fear

oh dreadful anxiety
leave me be
give me space
go away

oh dreadful anxiety
how I dream of peace
tranquility
and quiet

where are my pills? o phew, I found them. glass of water in hand. gulp.

oh dreadful anxiety
you control me no more
not tonight

sleep

Please dont cut....

Anxiety is within ourselves
its how we control it

If we chose to let it live
it will strive to conquer

You must be strong
and push it down

You must be right
and live it up

You must fight it
You must be strong

Please
do not take my anxiety away.

My anxiety
needs to learn better manners
it talks over me
and for me
at times.

My anxiety likes to be boss
it doesnt always play fair
or pick up the messes
it makes.

My anxiety is not the ideal roommate
but I've learned
to get along with it quite well
to appreciate
its gifts to me.

My anxiety
invigorates me
motivates me
keeps me fresh
and on my toes
enables me
to see many possibilities at once.

It has not been easy
to get to this place
to recognize
that if I'd numbed this part of myself
I'd miss myself
that I can live well
alongside
my anxiety.

Anxiety usually does the opposite to me...Distraction at the most...
