I cannot breathe My nostrils caving in on themselves The sensation of impaling arrows piercing my chest My body is heavier than it was A minute ago When I wasnt thinking About My breathing. Twidling fingers The twitch of my jaw Restless legs: a mind of their own This bed doesnt feel as comfortable As it did When I wasnt thinking About Relaxing. "Just breathe" "Its all in your head" "Sink into the mattress" "Dont look at how late it is" My mind is much louder now Than it was When I wasnt thinking About My anxiety.

When the Anxiety sets in
I cannot breathe My nostrils caving in on themselves The sensation of impaling arrows piercing my chest My body is heavier than it was A minute ago When I wasnt thinking About My breathing. Twidling fingers The twitch of my jaw Restless legs: a mind of their own This bed doesnt feel as comfortable As it did When I wasnt thinking About Relaxing. "Just breathe" "Its all in your head" "Sink into the mattress" "Dont look at how late it is" My mind is much louder now Than it was When I wasnt thinking About My anxiety.
