OVERWHELMING sense of dread,
Torturous thoughts squeeze my head,
Arteries full of lead;
Heart racing,
Tension displacing,
Panicky prickly pacing;
Stealing every breath,
Siphoning all that is left,
Paralyzed cerebral death;
Maddening worry,
Thoughts whipped in a fury,
Fear rendering reality blurry;
ESCAPE!
Find your peace;
The brain reels,
Body appeals,
Now you know how anxiety feels.
