O Anxiety how do I react to you
I feel so tense with your entry
It makes me so worried about the next moment
As if things are going to fall apart

It makes my heart beat fast
And my breathe becomes so shallow
I feel that it is the end of the world
And things have just gone out of control

And for those brief moments
When you appear indispensable
I feel out of the world
And the need to cut away from it

Alas I need only to friend you
And attempt at not pushing you away
Instead of through working with you
I can see my hidden worries

Unwanted worries have stuck my mind
Creating insecurities from deep inside
These I can take out from diagnosing it inside
To flush out everything not required

I thank you for your cautioning
Of things I need to address
The things to flush out from deep inside
And become compassionate from soul inside
