Anxiety: A Monday Morning Haiku

Carl Setzer

Anxiety 

The cruelest noise 

In silence 

Responding to Anxiety

Carl Setzer

Cruel fears rising up
Rising up within the calm
Catching me off guard

Anxiety and Mindless Guilt

Carl Setzer1 Comment

Our hearts torture us
Pronouncing us quite guilty
Anxiety’s cruel

Facing Aniexty 

Carl Setzer

I know anxiety lies 

Now to embrace it 

A morning meditation

Carl Setzer

Contentment pulls
Me back to slumber
Despair’s grip
Weakens

Anxiety lurks
Waiting to
Wreck havoc

Early Morning Anxieties 

Carl Setzer

Fear….anxieties
Like to rise up
Inhibiting my rest 

My mind often wakes me with silly fears or concerns. I learned, ages ago, that the best thing I can do is wake, add them to my workflow. My brain then knows that I won’t forget. 


Anxiety

Carl Setzer

Fears grapple with me

Anxiety is brutal

Logic corrupted

Unsettling dreams 

Carl Setzer


​Unsettled dreaming 

Awakened much too early

Anxiety wins 

An early morning haiku 

Carl Setzer

Now I sit, awake

Afraid of what I forgot

Anxiety’s pain
