With this heavy weight
Planted inside of me
By whom I do not know,
With the fullsome spate
Of the river's spree
Dammed up with nowhere to go;
Why can I not join in
Have to sit at the side
Why is life passing me by?
What is this infernal thing
Stronger than time and tide
Taking the twinkle from my eye;
No longer the need to strive
For the highest peaks
No longer the urge to win,
Enough just to be alive
Through a door that creaks
Please, life, let me back in.

Anxiety always gives feelings that we are nowhere else. But there is no need to bother about. We expect that the calm state you can feel and realize with twinkling of eyes. Yes, you should come back to calm poetic mood to wrote more and you should come back to reality of life being free from anxiety. A nice poem is very well penned.
