It's this strange, odd sensation,
Anxiety.
It's like when you're out in the ocean,
And your body suddenly gets extremely tired, completely drained of energy,
And every one of your working limbs resembles weights that are impossible to lift.
And the deepest pit of your stomach falls, your mind is now screaming, shrieking, sobbing,
"Get back to shore! Retreat!"
But when you put your feet down,
You realize you've swam too far out.
And so against almost every fiber of your exhausted being,
You have to fight against currents that laugh at you,
And fears of what swims underneath you,
And waves that want to hold you under.
It's that moment when all you can do is cry and shake,
Your body in flight or fight mode,
But confused, because what are you supposed to fight..?
Yourself..?
-D.
