Anxiety is riddled within my body,

Slowly and silently spreading like a malignant cancer.

It feasts on my mind,

Devouring any sense of positivity and hope.

It leaves my head a dark place,

Encapsulated by fog.

I pray,

I hope,

I dream that it will go away and select a different host to torment,

But it never does.

It never leaves.

Instead,

It grows stronger,

Slowly and silently spreading like a malignant cancer.
