Excessive self analysing
Serious misgivings
Forever second guessing
Every action, every word
Confronted by
Insurmountable walls of fear
Blocking me
Every way I turn
But I don’t even know
What I am terrified of
I have nothing to fear
Nothing to lose
No money, no fame
Neither popular nor cool
But still I am scared
Of what a single misstep
Might cost
Response to the Word of the Day Challenge prompts: qualm, insurmountable, chic and nervous
Reading this made me tear up a little bit. I go through anxiety and you have captured it perfectly! I hope people struggling with it (and other mental health problems) find a way out because it really gets bad sometimes, support from friends and family and therapy really helps! Also, this is a great poem!!👏

Thank you. It means a lot when my words impact and resonate with others. Even if all it does is remind them they’re not alone in their fight.
