ANXIETY - SWATHI MADHAVAN

My worry draws me into my room

and shuts the door behind me.

My anxiousness taunts me

by throwing out a key that never existed,

making me believe I am unloved

and preventing me from reflecting

on my acts that bring suffering.

Makes me feel insane, despite the fact that I am not.

Makes me feel like

I am the only one on the planet who feels this way.

My anxiety spoils the beautiful things in my life

and turns them against me, yet it can't harm me.

My worry is only in my head, and as a result,

I have overthought and terrible ideas

about what may happen to me, causing me to remain fearful.

Torture, Anger and Sadness

I've even considered how it must feel once I'm gone,

but I realised that once I'm gone,

I'm gone, and who knows if you'll still experience the pain or not,

so I opted to keep living in order to relieve myself of this constant

concern and live a better life.

However, my anxiousness does not define who I am.

It has no bearing on my actions or thoughts.

My anguish

My contentment

My eyes well up with tears.

MY worry will not confine me to my room,

where I shall be afraid and miserable.

MY anxiety will not take away anything

I have ever loved or will love in the future.

I tossed my anxiety out the window

and fashioned a key to get myself out of this room.

If it comes back, I will throw it out again

and find and construct new keys with

the hearts of people and my own. And,

even though my anxiety is a feeling that makes me hate myself,

I will continue to love myself and stay the amazing person

that I know I am and not change for something that is in the future

. Never have I allowed anxiety to define me, and neither should you.
