Anxiety
My head spins, my fingers become numb
The feeling of critters along my body
It's my nerves
Pain throbs within my temple
And my chest begins to tighten
I close my eyes and try not to panic
But I can't
My mind won't let me think positive
It won't let me calm myself down
The fear of life and everyone's ideas interrupts theses sad thoughts
Pins alongside my face
Nose as cold as ice
Twitching eye
Oh God, I m terrified
What is this?
Oh, another panic attack
Palpitations and bowel irritation
So why am I facing this?
See I once was arrogant because of my deeds
Until life brought me down to my knees
Where I'd beg and plead, to let these negative thoughts parish
Sitting in front of my husband embarrassed
That I can't hold my sanity together
Tears racing one another down the sides of my mahogany cheeks
As I struggle to speak
But it's all in my head
After all I can be a bit of a hypochondriac
I felt so lonely
like no one could help me
and if anyone knew, they would label me a nutcase
But through it, I will emerge and fight
Never give up and never lose
Especially not to
