Sometimes the anxiety creeps in and consumes me.

Can’t sleep, can’t breath, can’t even blink.

My heart beats out of my chest and feels like it’s a puddle on the floor.

Tears silently stream down my cheeks the saltiness touches my lips and reminds me to breathe.

I choke on the breath as I try to inhale every ounce of it.

My ribs feel like they’re being crushed under the weight of this darkness.

I don’t even know where it started, how it came to be.

All I know is that it consumes me.
