Nobody said it would be easy....

My life in a constant turmoil

of stresses

and strains

that have has

built up

over time.

And I feel like

an elastic band

that is about to snap

and break

forever

I am so nervous

and living on

my anxiety.

  I can not relax

Even writing poetry is

getting harder

for me of late

But still

I do try to write

to get it out

All those tips.

I give others

I do for myself

Soaking in the bath

and my prose poems.

Expressing myself

Even talking to my man.

Sharing feelings.

I am letting my own fears

control me within.

And it is coming out

as anxiety

Instead of just taking

each day as it comes.

I worry about

every single day ahead

I can not control life

or living

I have to learn to Stop, think

and calm down and relax

and just take each new day

as it comes

Easy said than done

Is my problem
