Anxiety

Tightening of my chest, 
the short breaths,
the thought of drowning in silence, 
it haunts me. 

I stumble in the crowd 
feeling lost wanting to find my way
my heart beats against my sore chest
almost if it is trying to lead the way home 

I feel the thoughts change
as well as my breath
its short
staggered 
trying to keep up with my heart

You have the grip on my heart
squeezing it tightly as i fight to remain in control 
I feel my body losing the fight 
falling to my knees 

gasping

wheezing 

struggling 

The tightening of my body struggling for air
its holding me down
feeling it burning me on the inside out 

Soon the crowd is gone
the thoughts stop
my heart beating normally as the pain is gone 

i get up slowly looking around now seeing nothing, 
an empty room 

i see the door out but if i leave

will you take over me once again?
