Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Anxiety Mind

Something small and simple cuts deep
tearing you apart, piece by piece
You struggle to recover and understand
But thinking is like sculpting with dry sand

Your resolve wavers, your mind grows weak
After a while, you can hardly speak
Before long, the tears are flowing freely
But this isn’t who you are, not really

Your kindness, your warmth, your light
They’re all still there, ready to take flight
Never forget, that you are truly unique
You weren’t made to be shelved, you are not some antique

The struggle against Anxiety Mind never ends
But you aren’t alone in this, you have wonderful friends
I’m proud to be one of them, so believe me when I say
I’m here for you; everything’s gonna be okay
