Anxiety-Drowning

August 23, 2021
Anxiety Makes your mind create A cosmic blank space Encircling you 360° The emptiness in its totality Wearisome to handle Knowing uncontrollably You sink gradually In that hollow pool of nothingness Lack of motivation Overwhelms your system Exhausts the energy To swim back to surface Your lungs get filled with nullity Making it tough practically To breathe in and out Mirroring congestive heart failure Soundless your soul drowns Deep down your own body Your loved ones Witness your silent withdrawal But not your despair Which pushes you To fall freely Farther and farther Into a dark abyss... #MywordsOnMycanvas
