There is a constant fear inside of me
A choking sensation, gasping for air
Left to shake as my head lays on my knees
Such simple things trigger a hellish scare
Not meeting anyone's judgmental glare
Unsure of what to do, I'm not that smart
My lips tremble, stuttering pointless prayers
Without a way to calm my beating heart
Paralyzed, I stay, unable to flee
Stuck with anxiety's toxic affair
Locked myself up, and threw away the key
Fears that left my heart with rips and tears
Though shutting down, I grow vaguely aware
A tender hand, it snuck through my ramparts
Apologies fly, and litter the air
Without a way to calm my beating heart
Your gaze holds firm and calms my stormy seas
Doubts still linger. I don't believe you care
How could you even care for someone like me?
Yet your calming voice and words fill the air
Worried that my my pain is too much to bare
Please don't go. I love the warmth of your heart
Don't be scared of my internal warfare
Without a way to calm my beating heart
I'm soon reminded that life is not fair
As time resumes, I know you must depart
Reality that fills me with despair
Without a way to calm my beating heart
