Standing still, feet planted <br />Body frozen, mind racing <br />Fear takes over <br />Like another entity <br />That controls all <br /> <br />It pleasures in knowing <br />No advancement has taken place <br />Nothing has been overcome just stillness <br /> <br />It delights in knowing <br />How much power it has <br />Over that insecure body <br />Manipulation will be easy <br /> <br />Soon anxiety sets in <br />Causing the body to tremble <br />The more intense the trembling becomes <br />The more the certainty declines <br /> <br />As the body gets sucked down <br />The path of anxiety <br />Fear becomes overjoyed <br />Its job is done <br /> <br />That little seedling it planted <br />Developed and blossomed <br />And is taking over <br />The body <br /> <br />As the body realizes the fear <br />Needs to be expelled <br />The body doesn't know how to <br />Get rid of it <br /> <br />So the insecure body <br />Succubus to the fear inside <br />Fear is overjoyed it did little <br />The body did the rest<br /><br />Kaitlin Schmidt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/anxiety-47/
