Unexpected, sudden, and scary
It sits in the back of your very being and waits
It's like a cornered wolf observant and viscous
It waits patiently for the perfect opportunity
It could be at school, at home, at work, it could be anywhere
It's over nothing, or maybe everything
It doesn't care what your doing
You could be drawing or even laughing
It doesn't care it's selfish and mean
You feel as though a snake is constricting slowly aggressively around your lungs slowly making it it harder and harder to breathe
It closes your brain off to anything but what it thinks is the problem
It eats at you until the "problem" is gone
It feeds off your fear your self destruction which it has caused
It eats away at your joy, your happiness, your love
It makes it easier to break under pressure and crack under the mallet which is life
Your every fear, real or imagined, is intensified and multiplied making you paranoid and nervous about new things
It gives you a mental barrier to anything out of the ordinary
Loving and caring becomes difficult and unrealistic
Tears, tears, and more tears they fall without a reason but it thinks that there's one
It convinces you to put up barrier on barrier until there are skyscrapers that are filled with obstacles for those who want to get close to over come
Love, joy, trust, LIFE are crippled
It overcomes and engulfs you drowning you in hatred and fear
Some drown in pills
Some fight and to stay afloat but barely graze the surface enough to survive
And some are able to keep there face above the water there face rarely going under
You don't choose anxiety it chooses you but the answer is never suicide you can fight and you can win it may not seem like it now but don't worry you can make it you can survive and you came LIVE
THE END...
