Caffeine and anxiety
Holding hands as they
Sprint through my bloodstream
Heart palpitating at the speed of light
As the rest of my body is rendered immobile
buzz in my extremities
vibrating with so much intensity
that my limbs seem autonomous
scream along with the voice in my head
encouraging its denials
and insecurities
Holding hands through an inevitable loop
For anxiety pounds in my head as I try achieve a few short hours of peace at night
In the morning caffeine enters into the equation to make it through to another rotation of the moon
And so on for eternity
Until my soul vibrates out of its seams
