The worrying whisper
The rapid heartbeat
The sound of a stomach churning
Blood boiling

Thoughts like steel blades
Breaking into concentration
Scattered
Slashed
An infectious infection

Lingering
Stewing
In the back of the mind
Too hard to push away
Yet, too easy to find

Haunting
Smouldering
Staring intensely
Gripping tight of my mind
Refusing to leave

Anxiety
Anxiety
Anxiety
