Anxiety

In this small vacant room

I'm forever stuck in the isolated bed

surrounded by plain white walls,

but feeling a large house

sitting on my chest;

trapping me from ever leaving.

I can feel it crushing my ribs

and I can barely breathe

but I can do nothing

but quietly cry,

I can barely

breathe.

In my stomach, there's a rat

trying to claw out of me,

and every time it tries to get out

the more painful the scratches become,

and the more I feel the need to puke everything up,

every word

and every tear

an invisible bear is holding onto me

trying to shake me to death

I can barely breathe

I can barely

breathe.
