Anxiety

A Short Stress-Filled Poem

By Rika LekayPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Stop it! Stop it!

You torture me!

Can’t you stop for once?

You make me jitter,

You make me tremble,

You make me laugh...

Uncontrollably...

You make me think,

Deeply...

About myself,

You make me stutter,

All those doubts I have,

It’s because of you!

You make sure I’m miserable,

You don’t want me to succeed,

At least not without a fight,

You make sure I cannot have fun,

I cannot enjoy anything,

With you here...

Inside my mind,

Watching me...

From a close distance,

Seeing me struggle,

And not coming to my aid.

All I ask is...

Please stop,

I just want to relax,

Away from you.
