My “friend”

I have a friend,l’ve known her all my life,
But lately she visits more often out of spite,
She’s irrational and out of her mind,
Her rhyme and reason I try to find,
She jumps to conclusions,
Creates situations and delusions,
She drives me insane!
But I still say I’m fine…,
She doubts every choice ,
Creates a quake in my voice,
Sending me on a downward spiral to my dismay,
I deal with her everyday,

Do you know her?

My “friends” name is Anxiety,
It has been all this time,
She’s apart of me always,
Keeping me in line…
