my anxiety

starts off, feeling like
ants crawling under
my skin, all over
my brain

i tear at my flesh
as it siphons away
all my energy,
my life force.

unsettling, the way my
stomach drops, heart roils
a breathlessness I can't run away from
the ineluctable plummet.

this feeling, threatens
holds hostage my lifeline
grips tight claws around my heart,
IcantbreathIcantbreatheIcant-

it dons red, dancing at edges of my
Vision, taunting, mocking, and
I struggle, but yet another familiar wave
washes over me, and I drown again.

it sinks its fangs in, send venom
shuddering down my spine, whilst
burning me alive, ardent
but my hands have never so cold.
