Eyes closed
                              Dreaded unease
One……….…..two………..….
                              Worry
 ­                             Fear
          I'm not breathing.
                              Choking
Five……six……seven­.....
                              Tension
                     ­         Restless
          I'm struggling.
                              Suffocating
Eleven..twe­lve..thirteen..
                              Drowning
                              Dying

                              No pulse.
          Anxiety consumes me.
