Anxiety

You have to,
Jump in with the sharks.

They won’t eat you,
unless you let them.

You dodge and dive,
swim like,
your going for the gold medal.

And it will be all worth it.

You can’t kill them,
or pretend,
They aren’t there.

But you swim,

and eventually,
They are with you,

and you smile,
as the sunlight beams through the sea.

and it’s beautiful.

Because they know you so well,
as you know them.

But you jumped in.

And that’s all that you can do,
to help yourself.
