Anxiety is like an earthquake

Anxiety is like an earthquake,
a loud rumbling movement
that ignites sparks of fear
and shakes the soul.

It creates madness
and an intense nervousness,
somewhat a thrill and excitement,
but also a stomach-clenching worry.

Anxiety is waiting in a room
for a meaningful interview:
hands sweating, eyes twitching,
body itching all over, and breathing rapidly.

It is arriving at the movies
on a Friday movie night with friends
to see the next heart-palpitating "Saw",
ready and brave but not.

Anxiety is an exciting emotion;
it induces heaps of stress
but creates a mind full of wonder,
waiting for a memorable adventure.
