My mother always compared my anxiety to an idling motor.
It runs through my body when I’m not moving or in a complete state of calm,
But then one thing triggers the gas and the motor is jolted into an angry roar.
They say that the body can only panic for a maximum of 20 minutes,
But my body stays in a constant buzzing of anxiety.
