Poems About Living Life With Anxiety - Page 2

In the shadows of silence, it stirs
A whisper, unseen but felt.
Like a ghost
With a grip like iron, emotions to melt.

A storm in the mind
Thoughts relentless and unkind
Even in the quietest hours, it dwells
A thief in the night, peace does it bind.

Heartbeats like drums, echoes within
Each breath a battle,
Each thought a maze
A dance with the darkness,
But lost in the fog

Eyes search for solace,
Shadows deepen, the walls close in.
A struggle unseen,
A silent plea.
In the quiet of night, in the light of day,
A fight with myself;
A fight to be free.
A hope for peace.

One thousands beats per second
It hammers ‘gainst my chest
I feel it in my temples
Tonight there’ll be no rest

Tortured is the breathing
Fast and shallow til it’s gone
Air that’s so elusive
In this fight to fill my lungs

A mind out of control
Thoughts will not be still
People think I’m crazy
Illusions can be real

Floating round in vertigo
Raw throat can’t make a sound
Get me off this ride!
The world keeps spinning round

Tiny little tremors
Turn to quakes beneath my skin
Every limb is shaking
It seems there’ll be no end

Then here comes the thoughts
Oh, the thoughts are just a beast!
Tumors, cancer, heart-attack
On lies this mind will feast

It’s when every little ache
And every little pain
Is blown out of proportion
Courtesy of my brain

I crawl into my shell awhile
Until this horror ends
Until the monster lets me go…
In panic’s grip again
