Anxiety

It’s natural to be nervous
When you’re trying something new.
Your mind won’t be of service
If it lets your panic through.

Anxiety’s expected
When you cross unknown terrain
And the problems you projected
May be hard to ascertain.

So accept that your misgivings
Are the standard and the norm,
Since each minute we are living’s
Got potential to transform.

Take a breath and then get ready
When it’s time to take the plunge.
Take those negatives, so petty,
Slap them silly, then expunge.

Though it’s really not that easy,
Somehow most of us get through it.
Yes, you might feel sick or queasy,
But much better once you do it.
