anxietys grip

a choke hold

that never lets go

my neck

forever in its icy hands

its cold breath

whispering

you will never

make it out

alive.

it takes over

like an addictive

drug.

the only thing

i think

i feel

i know

anxietys grip

a choke hold 

that will never let go

My anxiety struggles inspired me to write this piece, and to let people know they are not alone with their struggle

As someone with chronic anxiety this is extremely relatable, you really captured how it feels to battle with anxiety.
