Anxiety Is Real Poem by D.N. Rebb

Unresolved tension
Leads to depression
Sheer excessiveness
Only brings more stress
Persistent worry
As fear plays dirty
Mind, out of control
Has it lost its soul?
Nerves, counterclockwise,
Coping restless sighs
Panic has started
High pulse-rate charted
Hyperventilate
As damp sweat translates
The body trembles
Cast like charred embers
An image so weak
Tired, yet can't sleep
Eyes won't concentrate
Real worry adds weight

Ask what shame conceals,
Anxiety's real
