Anxiety

Poisoned whispers
circling around
like invisible thorns
with which I am crowned

Thoughts course through my veins
like some twisted addiction
when I lose myself to
this unseen affliction

No one can see
these worries I'm facing
or how much I'm run-down
when my mind can't stop racing

A sickness inside
rotting me from my core
with nowhere to hide
it's too much to ignore

A well-laid trap
that forever ensnares
'cause wherever I go
I am always right there
