Anxiety

Anxiety is showing it’s ugly face again

My heart is racing and my mind won’t slow down

I am pacing the house to try to calm myself

But nothing is working that I have been shown.

Legs trembling, hands shaking

I am just a mess

I am trying to cuddle Barkley

In the middle of this madness.

This poem is not turning out like I want

But oh well, at least its getting it out

That’s all I can do right now

This anxiety, I could do without.
