Analysis of The Flavors of Anxiety



The flavor of anxiety
Has changed so many times for me.
At times it has a sour taste
And often is so much a waste
Of time while I try hard to get it out;
Which only works if I've no doubt!
Anxiety can also fill
Me with a bitter taste until
I Pray real hard to make it go
But it will return, I know!
