Haunted mind

In the dark, it waits unseen,

A ghostly whisper in the mind’s between,

Silent footsteps on the floor,

Anxiety knocks, then asks for more.

Eyes that glare with icy stare,

A shadow lurking everywhere,

Breath grows shallow, heart pounds loud,

A restless storm beneath a cloud.

It whispers fears that never die,

A haunting thought that makes you cry,

A specter born from doubt and dread,

A nightmare that’s alive inside your head.

Fingers tremble, knees grow weak,

A voice inside that starts to speak,

“Run, hide, escape the night,”

But trapped within, no end in sight.

In this haunted house of mind,

The shadows twist, the fears entwined,

A ghost that never leaves your side

Anxiety’s shadow, your silent guide.
