Anxiety Poem by Vinaya Joseph

In the stillness of the night, anxiety creeps,
A shadowy specter that never sleeps.
It whispers doubts and fears in the mind,
A relentless torment, cruel and unkind.

Like a tempest raging within the soul,
It takes its toll, exacting its toll.
The heart races, the breath grows shallow,
As worries swarm, relentless and callow.

Each thought a weight upon the chest,
Anxiety's grip refuses to rest.
It paints a world of doom and despair,
Leaving hope stranded in its snare.

But amidst the darkness, a glimmer shines,
A beacon of hope in anxious confines.
For in the depths, courage can be found,
To face the fears and stand your ground.

With each breath, reclaim your might,
Banish the shadows, embrace the light.
For though anxiety may linger near,
You possess the strength to persevere.

So let not fear dictate your fate,
Rise above, don't capitulate.
For in the struggle, you'll come to see,
The power within to set yourself free.
