Within the depths of the belly, a fear creeps up to the chest
The heart flutters and then skips a beat
Frozen
A paralysis sets in
The cheeks are flushed with pain
Breathing is now shallow; gasps
The anxiety takes a hold of me again
Trembling hands
Try to breathe
Oh once I felt no emotional stress until suddenly one day someone mentally broke me
A curse was cast upon a normal beating pulse
erratic lung pulses…
I must speak out for this is no doubt; an uncomfortable way of living
A single conversation or tone of voice sets the body into a shaky vessel like a ship storm struck at sea … ugh so many rollercoasters all at once!
So to those who struggle along with me, I feel you
For this society has set forth a global ANXIETY. Bastards.
And so we continue to struggle through…
