Anxiety Poem by Marissa Hollis

Sometimes,
I don't even realize I'm worried.
But then it hits me.

It almost feels like
there is a
dementer near,
and all the happiness
is being
drained from the
world.
It's the worst feeling ever.

There is no reason
for my anxiety.
I fear one thing most,
breaking up.
Sometimes when I
think of him,
anxiety takes control
because I know what
could happen.
Even though that would
hurt so
bad.

But why must I worry
about that now?
Our relationship is
better than ever.
No signs of breakup.
The need to tell myself
that there is no reason
to fret is obvious,
And I am trying.

But it still finds a way
to creep up every once in
a while.
I'm trying so hard to
keep it out of my mind.
And I know he knows
that I am trying.
He would never hurt me.
Ever.
That's one thing that
makes him so extremely wonderful.

This anxiety has to go.
I am so sick of it.
It has no reason to
be here.
Goodbye.
