Anxiety banishes calm
depression elevates fear
guilt heightens insecurities
jarring kicks like mules
neverending, overthinking...paralysed
questioning redemption - sobriety - truth
unravelling vice-like webbing
xylotomy yields zen

Thanks for reading!

Yep! This was cool to read buddy. 😊.. loved the ‘vice webbing’ too!! Just letting you know…small typos on unravelling and insecurities, unless it’s one of your mental no holds barred poems!...☺️👍
Impressive work! I wouldn't have expected something so coherent would be possible.
Whoa. I like this one. Nicely done.
Oooo, xylotomy! I loved that! Such a Paulitical Abecedarian! 🍩🥐
Amazing work 👏🏽
Good one! Love it: truth & abecedarian too; "xylotomy yields zen" - perfect!
