Anxiety
I am drowning inside my own mind
Hands shaking, teeth chattering
Heart racing inside of my chest
It’s hard to breathe, hard to think
This is my constant reality
Life with the wires crossed and
No idea how to uncross them
Medication and patience; talking
To strangers about why, why, why
Some days are better -easier-
Some are an uphill battle
This is life with the beast
Always fighting it; nobody wins
