Free oneself

I was told
That worrying could cripple oneself
The anxieties could trap
Hinder whatever movement one could make

The block can now be felt
The stifle
The crippling lock
The bottomless trap

There is a key
That, found in the mind
But how to find it?
Assurance or the permission to take longer time?

Is it any irony?
That more effort in thinking of the trap
Would not free oneself
But allowing that crippling feeling
To simply pass and go away
In order for freedom to come once more?

To move ahead?
Or to give oneself more time?
The thoughts invade the mind
Is there value that the mind is not made up?
