Anxiety Attack
Tried to prevent others from witnessing
The moment it struck, always felt belittling
It was exposure, it was vulnerabilities
The fear of failure was crippling
the Anxiety tripling
Heart rate spiked. The pace quickening
That lump in the throat thickening
Constricted breaths, heavy heaving
The strangled sound, the wimpering
Unable to stop the quivering
Spend the time fighting till it begins dwindling
The chokehold now relinquishing
In the after math some effects remain lingering
