La Pieta.

In the midst of war and strife, Lies a world full of human life, Suffering and pain, tears and cries, As the ground beneath them dies. Mothers weep and children cry, As bombs fall from the sky, Fathers lost and brothers gone, As the battle rages on. Innocent lives caught in the crossfire, As the hatred and anger conspire, Leaving behind a trail of destruction, And a world full of disruption. Yet amidst all this chaos and despair, There is still a glimmer of hope and care, For those who strive for peace and love, And look to the heavens above. Let us come together, hand in hand, And build a world that we can all understand, Where the sun shines on every face, And we all live in a world full of grace.

Then there are those who live with the reality of anxiety on a daily bases, they try to cope with simple tasks like brushing their teeth, where every situation is an endeavor, the only invariable and certainty are the voices in their head telling them there is "danger". People with the disorder live there days hoping that they will be able to survive the next attack. They look like everyone else, they do not carry their fears and their panics on their face. They hold a mask they spend years to perfect, hoping not to be discovered and ostracized.
