Anxious

doubt

I can't breathe
with the shallow whispers on my neck
making my stomach squeeze
pushing my heart into erratic beats

I can't breathe
with my fingers possessed
my wrists tied down
my head in a constant, silent scream

I can't breathe
with the my thoughts circling around the same track
an onyx ghost taking the lead
poisoning my logic

I can't breathe
with the plague of worries
clogging my throat
leaving me to choke
leaving me for dead
