A modern day plague

I have been an anxious person for a very long time, but always felt that it wasn’t that big of a deal. During the past few years, I have had some experiences, personal and professionally, that made those feelings explode. I didn’t want to admit I had a problem, it got to a point where I couldn’t ignore it any longer. This poem is written in two parts: how it felt and how I would deal, then what I finally decided to do. I hope there are people who can relate. I definitely feel that rat scratch at me often. I hope that it impacts readers and helps them realize they need to take back control and do something about making a change in their lives.
