I have struggled with anxiety for many years. It is such an awful thing and for people that don't have any idea what it is like, it is hard for them to understand. They think that you can just pull yourself out of it. One day I was so anxious and overwhelmed by these feelings and I started to write. This is what came to me. For any of you that struggle with this, you are not alone. I hope that you will somehow learn to overcome it. Unfortunately, I have not. But I will never give up hope.

Mysterious Pain

©Peggy Stewart

With her head hung low
and nowhere to go

She can't explain
this mysterious pain

It comes on so fast
How long will it last

Her heart is just pounding, her head starts to spin
Please go away, she does not want you in

She's uncontrollably crying
It feels like she's dying

Her body is trembling, her hands start to shake
She feels so helpless with this horrible ache

Someone, please help her, make this go away
She can't stand to feel this way one more day

Someone, please help her, she's down on her knees
She's scared and helpless and hopes no one sees

With her head hung low
not knowing where to go

She tries to explain
This mysterious pain
