In Its Web

Sometimes even happy things

Can fill your life with stress,

Which makes room for anxiety,

Not easy to repress.

 

It bubbles up from deep within,

Affecting all it strikes

In many different forms, but none

That anybody likes.

 

From sleepless nights to biting nails

To loss of appetite

Or drinking way too much

Or maybe raring for a fight…

 

The thoughts that race across the mind

Of all that can go wrong

Get pulled into your gut as if

That’s where they do belong.

 

If luck is on your side, that worry

Will have been for naught

But sadly, in its web we often

Find that we are caught.
