My heart thumps in my chest like a rabbit
Trying desperately to run away
From the predator known as anxiety
that prevents me From falling asleep
as I so desperately need.
There is no reason for me to feel this way. To feel as if I am a rotting fruit on a tree that was supposed to be green and flourishing.
I know I am moving forward
I know I am doing better
But why do I feel like I'm drowning, even when I know how to swim?
