Anxiety

Anxiety swims through me,

all five liters of my blood.

White blood cells can

not fight off this attack.

Pain erupts in my chest,

tiny knives stabbing me.

Breathing becomes a task,

my diaphragm moves at a rapid rate.

Tiny breaths escape from my lips,

rushed and forced.

My head is feeling light,

darkness is filling the void.

Pain is still laced in my chest,

Eching itself into my heart.

I don’t know how to stop it.

The pain is like the ocean,

deep and full of the unknown.

Maybe that’s why i’m panicking,

The unknown is a scary place,

You never know what's lurking

around the corner in the dark

shadows of your fear.
