Anxiety.

Anxiety creeps in like a sly serpent seeking to strangle everything in its path. Triggered by a smell, a thought, a sound, a touch... once it arrives, it plans to stay. As one glimpse of worry enters the mind, all hope of clarity is erased. Instant debilitation. Pressure, pain, fear, and stress intoxicate the mind to no end. Heart is racing, hands are shaking... mind is numb. Darkness won't relent. It reaches all aspects of emotion and thought, imprisoning the body forcefully. Bound by chains of fear- physically, mentally, emotionally- all focus is lost by Anxiety.

But it takes only one flicker of light to penetrate the dark.
Ignite the flame and watch the depth of blackness fade.
Hope is freeing.
