Anxiety
December 7, 2018
Plenty of people struggle,
It’s not like they plan to.
With a lot of things to juggle,
It makes them feel blue.
I’m always worried,
Though I try not to be.
It’s usually because I’m hurried,
It makes me want to flee.
People give me advice,
I usually just ignore.
I’m aware it isn’t nice,
I just don’t want any more.
I try to help myself,
Yet I still feel empty.
I’m that dusty book on a shelf,
Feeling lonely and petty.
I want to feel good,
I really do.
But instead I continue to wear my hood,
If only people got the clue.

I wrote this poem because I've been struggling with anxiety since I was in 8th grade. Sometimes my anxiety can be really bad to the point where I'll have anxiety attacks. I wrote this poem during my 7th hour one day at school because I was having a super stressful day.
