ANXIETY

In the realm of the mind, where worries do reside,
Anxiety takes hold, its presence cannot hide.
A tumultuous journey through thoughts untamed,
Leaving the spirit overwhelmed and pained.

Like a shadowy specter, anxiety creeps,
Causing unrest, robbing tranquility in heaps.
It weaves through the mind, a relentless maze,
Leaving the heart heavy, lost in a haze.

Breath quickens, heart races, a nervous beat,
As anxiety's grip tightens, fears repeat.
A constant companion, it whispers with doubt,
Feeding on uncertainty, spreading throughout.

But fret not, dear soul, for strength lies within,
A flame of resilience that's eager to begin.
Embrace self-compassion, be kind to your core,
And let courage guide you to calmer shores.

Seek grounding in the present, where peace can reside,
Find solace in moments, let worries subside.
Connect with the world, lean on loved ones near,
Their support and understanding can help conquer the fear.

Practice self-care, nurture your soul's need,
Release anxious thoughts with each mindful deed.
For within you lies a spirit strong and true,
Capable of overcoming, anxiety won't undo.

Remember, dear one, you're not defined by its hold,
Your worth and potential shine brightly, untold.
With time and patience, anxiety will wane,
And you'll find inner strength, a calm regained.

So hold onto hope, as you face anxiety's reign,
Know that healing and resilience shall remain.
You're capable, courageous, and destined to find,
A life where anxiety no longer binds.
