fear
freeze my heart
as you melt my brain
you don't allow me to rest
but nor can I get work done
if I was daring
I would try
all

why
why not try
this is what you ask
anxiety the reason
for my procrastination
I fear I will fail
look the fool
me

Anxiety and its close relative depression are soul suckers. Powerful and skilled soul suckers. And liars as well. Powerful and skilled liars.
ReplyDeleteI think anxiety and depression are evil twins both born of fear.
DeleteFear is exhausting. Anxiety is exhausting. They steal all of my energy and leave no room for any other thoguhts.
ReplyDeleteAnxiety is the worst time-suck. The times I've sat there stewing rather than acting amount to years.
