Anxiety

Anxiety

Anxiety overtakes me
Overwhelms me,
Suffocates me
My breath is shallow, I need air
My head wants to explode
My eyes are dull
My tears want to flow
My mouth is dry
Twisted in my thoughts
Who wants to listen?
Who wants to hear?
I want to scream
But no sound comes out
I want to cry
But my tears dried up
I want to run
But my body is numb
My heart is beating excessively
But there is no heartbeat
My heart is twisted, without a pulse
Do you see me? I am here!
My mind screams – Help!
But nobody hears me
My eyes are lost in the desert
My thoughts are far away
My heart is broken
My heart is in a thousand pieces
Anger overwhelms me
My fists are swinging,
wildly in the air
Anxiety brings me down
It interferes with my existence
