You are all drowning in nothing but your own worst fears
Struggling to breathe through the thickness of your anxiety
Slowly dragging your aching muscles to the surface only to lose all progress at the slightest push
Your lungs feel as though they are about to collapse
Your stomach is in knots and your mind is a mess
You hope to die in the midst of your struggle to reach the surface
You find yourself praying without any belief in God, just hoping for a helping hand
A hand that will pull you from the freezing water that has become your life
The water that has filled your lungs, your stomach, your mind
Anxiety
A feeling that washes over you with every thought, every movement
