Anxiety

Just one turn in events
Causes a thump in my heart.
One change in the plan
To make my brain fall apart.

It doesn't let me see the facts,
No truths but a lie.
Vomit rises in my throat,
And all I can do is cry.

My breath catches,
Suddenly I can't breathe.
I'm overwhelmed in darkness,
And I really need to leave.

My heart thumps against my ribs,
Each time a little quicker
Like I'm trapped behind bars
It only makes me feel sicker.

I'm frustrated at my brain,
I hate how it works,
It makes me feel anxious,
And the anxiety just lurks.

But then I arrive,
And my heart beat slows down,
It happens without a hitch,
And a smile replaces my frown.

Everything is going great,
Nothing has gone wrong.
Why do I get worked up,
When it was fine all along.
