Evening Poems: Anxiety

Anxiety is man, 

He tells earnestly 

For what I should worry 

But as I focus on his features 

He seems to be blurry 

So I’ve come to find out 

He thinks he knows best 

In his well trimmed suit 

With a velvet vest. 

But his words are empty 

A spiral of care. 

Obsession dressed in good intentions

To hide the nightmare.

One thought on “Evening Poems: Anxiety

  1. This is a really humorous take on anxiety, and the personification is so well done! I also love that “He” is wearing a “velvet vest,” like giving him this know-it-all, proper exterior. Amazing poem!
