This poem is apart of the series Meet the Emotion. I wrote this in a time where anxiety was something I dealt with on a daily basis. It controlled my mind and life, and writting about it was my meathod of coping. If you like this poem you should also check out the poem Meet Hope, as it is the follow up to Meet Anxiety.
Meet my friend anxiety
Why is she so hard to deal with?
Probably because anxiety is not just your fears
Everything about the past, present, and future is used against you
Maybe something you said
Something you did
Something you thought
Maybe even something that happend to you
Anxiety tells me my past defines me
Anxiety gives me a million reason to why I didn’t get the invite
why I’m not good enough
Why they don’t want me anymore
And maybe they don’t because my logic isn’t off. Or is it?
Anxiety tells my I’m worthless
and don’t deserve trust or respect.
And maybe I don’t
I’ll never know because my mind is to conjested with the voices that belong to my friend anxiety
