Anxiety’s Comfort

A.S. Poem, Beatnik Cafe
February 2025



Anxiety is waving at me

His noxious smile is unhappy

He doesn’t want me to live no more

He doesn’t want me to breathe at all

He whispered at me and I swore

To hide behind the stressful wall

Of fear and angst that I abhor

And so alone I lament and bawl

With Anxiety right beside me

‘Cause confrontation is too scary
