Anxiety Why Cant I Be Free? Poem by Loren Angela Parkes

My anxiety,
Is a variety,
And ruins my fun of society,
From panic attacks, ticks and phobias,
The list goes on,

Im standing in the middle of town,
Trying to calm my self down,
But my heart is thumping out of my chest,
I feel like my body is chained and im under arrest,
but its just my anxiety,
Its taking control of me,
but why cant it let me bee,

As my anxiety,
Is a variety,
And ruins my fun of society,
From panic attacks, ticks and phobias,
The list goes on,

It makes me punch, kick and swear,
And makes people snare,
But its the anxiety within me,
Why cant it escape me so i can be free?

As my anxiety,
Is a variety,
And ruins my fun of society,
I cannot go out and have fun with friends,
Not until im fully cleansed,
as my anxiety is now become apart of me,
and it wont let me bee,

So one day at a time im fighting this creature inside me,
and one day it will escape me and i'll be free,
Free to explore the unknown world,
Free to explore everything and anything without the anxiety controlling me.
