Trapped in the Darkness

A Poem on Fear and Anxiety

By Dhinesh kumar.PPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

In the darkness of my mind,

Fear and anxiety, intertwined,

Clawing and scratching at my soul,

Taking their toll, taking control.

I try to push them away,

But they linger, they stay,

Whispering doubts and worries,

My mind, their playground, their quarry.

The shadows grow longer still,

As I struggle to break their will,

But they only tighten their hold,

Their grip, icy and cold.

And so I am left to dwell,

In this dark and lonely cell,

Trapped by my own fear and anxiety,

A prisoner, forever in captivity.

For though I may strive and fight,

Against the darkness of the night,

I know that in the end, it will prevail,

And I will be lost to its dark, endless tale.
