Anxiety vs Humanity

Emotions flood my brain

Tears swell up my eyes

Lub-dub Lub-dub - 

pulse hits a century 

And loses!

Sweat, out of the glands, oozes

Flushed - hot and cold - all at once 

Tripping a trippety trip

A mind in conflict, a heart endangered

Familiar monsters overhead,

Fumbling me, having a fit

Still -

I couldn't sit

Crushing the enemy overhead

Anxiety - 0, humanity - love; what a tennis match - only I witnessed!

O, was I overwhelmed -

Or anxiety destined

To break me —

free -

from it's shackles.

I tossed and turned -

Got bruised and burnt

And yet here I stand -

Unparalleled

Time goes tickety tock,

A zillion thoughts flock

Trying to crush me, but trust me,

They empower me as I overpower them

Collected every lemon thrown to crush -

And made a lemonade -

I drank instead

Anxiety is a mean teacher no doubt;

But you the student must be proud —

About what almost got you killed 

Actually made you stronger

Anxiety to the dungeons,

Humanity profounder!
