Anxiety is a prison to which I often misplace the key
Behind these bars is not where I intended to be

Anxiety is a blindfold that robs me of my sight
Darkness surrounds me as shadows shut out the light

Anxiety is a lack of balance between reason and emotion
Fear is overwhelming like I'm drowning in an ocean

Anxiety is a car speeding down a road without brakes
Holding on for dear life when facing such high stakes

Anxiety is being so caffeinated that you can't sit still
Just like an addict feeding their addiction always will

Anxiety is not knowing what it means to not worry
Lacking comprehension that you don't' need armor so burry

Anxiety is a constant state of being afraid
Not knowing what's gonna happen to you isn't ok

Anxiety is like being put in a permanent straitjacket
It's possible if someone or something seems threatening I'll attack it

Anxiety is a nervousness in situations outside your comfort zone
Risks seem unnecessary when it's easier and safer at home

Anxiety is when your emotions control your every move
The idea that we can control our anxiety isn't so easy to prove

Anxiety is sadly experienced by thousands of men and women
Very few people are immune to it because we're all human

Anxiety is a real issue that needs to be taken seriously
eXacting a demand to suck it up may cause panic catastrophically

Anxiety is what I experience every minute of every day
Zigzagging through this maze of anxious or not and it'll always be this way
