I see it—
The overthinking and ruminating
Heart racing
Adrenaline's pumping
Veins straining
Vision's blurring
Ears ringing
Hands shaking
Perception built upon
Catastrophical thinking—
Worrying and worrying...
Where has the moment gone?
Is it hiding?
Where is it?
Was I all alone?
Hello, from the other side
Here I lie,
Awaiting the inevitable
Come and sit beside me,
With your thoughts and see
No future remains to fear now
Only the mortal spasms to bear
And the past yet to be forgotten
For me to visit and watch—
The shadows of tomorrow burden
My soul soon to be rotten
And our former body
Now near to be forsaken—
At least make me a promise
Before it comes
Before the undeniable,
The irreversible
The very real and mythical,
Certain but quizzical—
When you face it,
the unpreventable—
You must assure me
You will wear a smile:
A beacon of serenity
And for once you will not succumb
to my old master Anxiety
