ANXIETY
My closest friend these days
I have this thing in me
people call it
A
N
X
I
E
T
Y
sometimes my heart forgets its functions
stops, slows and races for some reasons
air rushes in and out
no words to figure-out
the stomach adds to the show
forges its anger, all in a row
my mind acts cool though
it goes numb
like there's no way to go
my last two brain cells in a corner
figure things out like a foreigner
At the last, I surrender
to my own weapons
it's scary, those 60 seconds
yet before I rest my case
let me embrace my face
it's the only one that acts the same
no eyebrow arches
no folds on the skin
no discoloration
not even a hint
like a close friend
keeps the secret till the end
Because;
I have this thing in me
people call it
A
N
X
I
E
T
Y

Coming back to say congrats on top story!
I had anxiety so bad I was pulled out of high school by my doctor, so I know the feeling all too well. Fortunately I rarely get it now. Just when something big is about to happen, good or bad. Congrats on your first Top Story, and here’s to many more! 🥂
"my last two brain cells in a corner, figure things out like a foreigner." Sometimes a line from a writers mind reaches out and demands that you read it again and again until it digs deep down inside you and moves you somehow. This is Poetry at its best and you have done that here!! Congrats on a well deserved Top Story. You have a new subscriber.

RELATE 🥲
Ya the insomnia that comes with it. Sometimes you just have to fall apart and then restart
Anxiety is definitely a deception. It’s a battlefield we have to conquer
Can relate here badly👀
