Standing still, feet planted
Body frozen, mind racing
Fear takes over
Like another entity
That controls all
It pleasures in knowing
No advancement has taken place
Nothing has been overcome just stillness
It delights in knowing
How much power it has
Over that insecure body
Manipulation will be easy
Soon anxiety sets in
Causing the body to tremble
The more intense the trembling becomes
The more the certainty declines
As the body gets sucked down
The path of anxiety
Fear becomes overjoyed
Its job is done
That little seedling it planted
Developed and blossomed
And is taking over
The body
As the body realizes the fear
Needs to be expelled
The body doesn't know how to
Get rid of it
So the insecure body
Succubus to the fear inside
Fear is overjoyed it did little
The body did the rest
The symptoms of anxiety disorder are well presented in poetic form. This is wonderful. Keep writing
The power of the mind is much under-rated as you describe here....you might enjoy my poem 'Call To Arms' in a similar vein

So the insecure body Succubus to the fear inside Fear is overjoyed it did little The body did the rest nice concluding
I experienced this just yesterday. ]-[ Quite accurate, if you ask me.
a great subject with which we are all familiar, but not always aware our body's inevitable connection with our emotions; a good job capturing this, perceptive of what we all can identify with.
Like this too; I would have liked (too) a little more background; the anxiety is here rather nebulous.
A superb write providing us with a great understanding of how hard it is living with anxiety. Thank you
