Anxiety + You

Anxiety + You

shaking hands
shaking feet
hard to swallow
cannot eat

scattered brain
panic strikes
close my eyes
darkest night

shaking arms
shaking legs
morning walks
drag my feet

conversations
in and out
muffled sounds
what is there
to care about

shaking fingers
shaking toes
secret thoughts
no one knows

your touch
like fire to my skin
body tense
wound too tight

Please, sweetheart,
please let me in

A note about my poetry: Whether you are facing a similar battle or walking alongside someone suffering from mental illness, I want you to know that I am praying for you. I pray my poetry may speak to you or perhaps help you gain a little insight into the battle that someone you know might be going through.
