Poetry / Anxiety

Can’t run can’t hide must fight the feelings of flight.
Can’t walk can’t talk can’t eat can’t sleep must fight to stay right.
Mind racing I’m pacing arms tingle ears jingle legs feel like melting butter, now I sway from one side to another. Pain in-tombs my body, now I feel it rotting. I see my blood vessels swell I think what the hell? Skin sweats, eyes water I holler. Cold chills need pills. Back aches stomach hurts must stay alert. Ears ring I sing. Medicine kicking in I think this is the end. NO! Now panic am I satanic? Thoughts of death over come me. Is my time near? I cheer then I fear I do not want to die! Mind still racing I’m still pacing must stop chasing. Can’t stop my mind don’t want to die. Can’t go thru it another time. I think then I wink Body loosens stomach stops hurting mind not racing I’m not pacing. Ears not ringing but I am still singing.
