Paranoid, Panicked, Concerned. Can I do without it? Can I live a life without anxiety? I hope so, I pray for peace, I pray, Is that a root of concern in me?
Do you know what it’s like To be caged by your brain A place supposed to be free To be who you are Graced with heaven or hell To be changed by so little Torment yourself wholly To be what is right It doesn't stop at your mind To be in rambling circles Losing your breath To be at the mercy of fear Shaking ever so carefully To be seen merely as cold Digging into Earth you call skin To be laced with liquid iron
Anxious Oh, so anxious my heart hammers in my chest making my body sway making my arms shake I tremble and wobble my mind a tornado of thoughts my stomach churning and roiling like a treacherous stormy sea Anxious Oh, so anxious my breath is shallow the breathing techniques aren't working what do I do panic rises up my throat I feel detached from reality everything sounds muted like I'm not really there all in my own world as my anxiety threatens to overtake me
Discontent incomplete not whole I wander down a bright corridor the lights hurt my eyes The hum a cacophony of pain
Something isn't right Something isn't right Something isn't right Something isn't right
I'm falling but stationary A runaway train lost in the empty brightness I'm mindlessly speeding through nothingness
Something is terribly wrong
I've never felt this way before A mad descent I'm suffering and I don't know why
I feel sick From tension From speed From stress From pain From sickness I don't know why
Something is wrong Something is wrong Something is wrong Something is terribly wrong
My life is falling apart as I curl up the walls close in The bright light intensifies I can't take it I don't know Please GOD save me
Please somebody save me
I can't think I can't eat I can't walk I can't sleep
Something is wrong and it's hurting The light intensifies The hum gets louder The walls begin to crush my chest I gasp for breath but nothing reaches my lungs
