What Anxiety Feels Like

💫✨
It feels like being trapped in a world where expectations never stop piling up,
and every time you try to prove yourself, you fall harder than before.

It feels like a knot twisting deep in your gut,
your whole body trembling from spine to head,
as if one snap could shatter you completely.

It makes you question—
Do I even belong here?
Am I just existing, not living?
Was I never meant to be loved?
Am I cursed?
And the cruelest question of all—Why me?

You wonder if it was a mistake to feel so deeply,
a mistake to stay silent out of fear of judgment.
As a teenager with no privacy,
you ache for the right to live freely,
to breathe without society’s constant criticism.

But instead, society seems to thrive on pointing fingers
when you’re already at your lowest.
They don’t see the cause, the weight, the reason—
they just keep pressing down harder.

And the victims?
They’re the ones who cry themselves to sleep,
whispering to the night, “Maybe tomorrow will be my day.”
But tomorrow never comes.
That fragile spark of motivation fades,
and they retreat into shadows,
hiding their insecurities so no one can expose them again.

Some lose all hope.
They give up—on themselves, their dreams,
even on life—
and become the beloved of God once more.

That… is what anxiety feels like.
