We meet again, huh? Welcome back

I love the look of nervousness on your face, stained with tears

Really, it gives me strength as I supply you with worries

It’s such a joy to be alive, but I know you don’t like me

Because your mind is a distorted mess for me to play in

And once I’m done, it’d be hard to return

‘Cause I know that it’s not my heart that’ll stop, but yours

Still, I swear, I’ll never tell you what makes me bleed

Because, know what? That’s my anxiety

~

Here I am again. Alone. Thinking.

This time, the fear is suffocating; I can barely see

Really, it drowns me as you grow more confident

It’s such a pain to be alive, but I know you’ll always come for me

Because your logical mind will attack my now-weak body

And once you’re done, it’d be hard to move

‘Cause I know your positivity cuts into me, and I’ll freeze: paralyzed

Still, your relaxed smile will always be the end of me

Because, know what? That’s my anxiety

anxiety original poem stress projectunhappy personification

We were asked to write personification poems at school
This is actually two poems instead of one, but they're related, so I'm just putting them together lol (hence the double title)

At first I was thinking about the effects of stress on the mind, but then I decided I should make it more cheerful, so in the second half stress is losing
