If I were to sum up the negative reactions to my work, I think there are two primary causes: one is that if there is discourse about anxiety it is necessarily going to induce anxiety. It will represent a return of the repressed for a great many people.

Anxiety of Fear
Though it only takes few seconds
It doesn’t make the burden in my heart
Less its weight
There’s always an unseen wall
That called fear
Fear of rejection
Fear of disappointment
Fear of out of control
Fear of unknown
Maybe it’s enough
Maybe it’s not enough
Maybe it’s should be enough
Maybe it’s never enough
Though I have confidence
Though I have lot experience
It doesn’t make my stomach not ache
Or my feet lighter
There’s always a cold feeling
That called anxiety
Anxiety of acceptance
Anxiety of failure
Anxiety of future
Anxiety of unreasonable
Maybe it’s right
Maybe it’s not right
Maybe it could be right
Maybe it won’t ever be right

Anxiety Hates Poems
Anxiety hates poems
It has no patience for them
It is out of place in them.
Anxiety does not have Beauty
And it does not have Hope
And it does not Love
And it does not have Music
It does not have
What makes so many poems live.
Anxiety hates poems
And Poetry is not so fond of it either.

Shy
Written by John Mellencamp
Can you shelter me
From this anxiety
Hey baby don't look me in the eye
'Cause I'm sexually shy shy shy
Sexually shy shy shy
I don't know why
With other girls I'm fine
But with you baby I'm shy shy shy
I hate for you to see me like this
'Cause nowhere else in my life
Does this exist
Can you shelter me
From this anxiety
Hey baby don't look me in the eye
'Cause I'm sexually shy shy shy
I'm sexually shy shy shy
Every time we talk
I can't catch my breath
I want a conversation
But I scare myself
I really can't hide behind this lie
'Cause with you baby
I'm shy shy shy
Woman
Well I'm ashamed to say
Woman
That I'm afraid this way
Woman
Yeah
Woman
I gotta stop acting so crazy
Can you shelter me
From this anxiety
Hey baby don't look me in the eye
'Cause I'm sexually shy shy shy
Sexually I'm shy shy shy
Can you shelter me
From this anxiety yeah
Hey baby don't look me in the eye
'Cause I'm sexually shy shy shy
Can you shelter me
From this anxiety yeah
Hey baby don't look me in the eye
'Cause I'm sexually shy shy shy
Sexually I'm shy shy shy
I don't know why
With other girls I'm fine
But with you baby I'm shy shy shy
I don't know why
With other women I'm fine
But with you baby I'm shy shy shy
I don't know why
I don't know why

At the time of death
I didn’t have many things in life
And yet will die without regrets
For I didn’t wish I should have them.
But I shall die with anxiety
That if I would be remembered.
A beggar would have no such anxiety.

My mother's suicide attempts were a way to release anxiety and get attention. Some of the attempts were drug reactions she didn't even remember later on.

Food can become such a point of anxiety - not because it's food, but just because you have anxiety. That's how eating disorders develop.

The pathos of the death
I didn’t share my grandmother’s anxiety
Of going to die
When she was about to die.
I didn’t share my father’s similar anxiety
When he was waiting for his death.
I too will end up meeting the same fate.
Each one thus dies with no one minding.

Anxiety
It starts in your chest like it's going to burst.
You hate being in public.That's when it's worse.
You begin to sweat like you've just worked out,
but your standing still. You wanna scream and shout.
You hide most days inside of your home.
Instead of being with people you'd rather be alone.
It conquers you more than you'd like.
So, you do what it wants. you don't put up a fight.
If it isn't controlled it can ruin you.
Take it from me I know it's true.
I've dealt with it for over seven years, and
have cried many tears.
Anxiety is not a happy feeling.
You'll need loved ones around to help you with dealing.
I tried dealing with it myself, but the feeling only grew.
I eventually got counseling to help me through.
I'm okay now as long as I watch what I do.
Just know when you have anxiety eventually it won't conquer you.

All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership.

The great thought, the great concern, the great anxiety of men is to restrict, as much as possible, the limits of their own responsibility.
The gravest anxiety
The goodwill and the ill-will earned will die
When the people who know about them die.
However great or low I grow in life,
I’ll be dust to ensuing generations.
This is the gravest anxiety with which
Each one is obsessed in his ending days.

Nothing in the affairs of men is worthy of great anxiety.
Desperate souls
Keen eyes
Hyperactive legs
Grimace on the face
Desperate souls
The desire goes beyond the want
And fatal will be it's obstacle
Mete follows strong anxiety
Worry and passion
Emotions burning like wild fire
Like the world will crack if it fails
Your weakpoint
Hunger, thirst, anxiety, enthusiasm!
Can the world go beyond the ordinary?
To grant her precious request
To calm her desperate soul

Anxiety Is Not A Poem
ANXIETY IS NOT A POEM
Anxiety is not a poem-
Fear is not one either-
Yet inside
Needing some relief
Words come as Balm-
Only they cannot be just words
They must sing inside themselves
And bring an inner Joy in Beauty –
Only Poetry true Poetry words of Poetry
Can help now-
And whether they are in these lines or not,
I hope, but do not know.

I had a great many sex and love cases where people were absolutely devastated when somebody with whom they were compulsively in love didn't love them back. They were killing themselves with anxiety and depression.
