Breathe

This is a poem about anxiety written in haiku format, hope you enjoy!

My heart beats frantically.

Why must life be like this? Breathe.

But anxiety creeps.

Move mechanically.

Don‘t let them know. Not worth it.

Just breathe. Please, just breathe.

Squeeze your eyes shut. Breathe.

But the possibilities-

Drown it out with music.

Breathe. Just breathe.

Keep on going. You can.

I can’t. I can’t, I can’t.

Don't think. Just breathe. Please!

That becomes my battle cry. Just breath.

It’s me against anxiety.

But I can win.
