anxiety tightrope

Anxiety races through my body
Like electricity shooting through the wires
Extreme worries cloud my brain
Distracting me, losing moments in life

The calming states travel past
Like a caravan jam-packed of sheep
Count me count me, they utter
When the counting concludes, I begin to ache

Certain days they unite with joy
Balancing on the tightrope that I stagger
Happiness engulfs me
Like a child, who has found his favorite toy

Wishing for extra days of happiness
Surrounding myself with pleasantries
The anxiety discovers to seep in
Like a fog creeping beyond the hillside

Go away, become absent, my inner self howls
Find another to taunt, to torture, become part of the missing
Fill my life with joyful bliss, without my undoubted fear
Accepting now all my loves whom, one day will disappear
