x. poetry

anxiety doesn't knock
it kicks the door down and barges in
paranoia following close behind
the two entering your mind
hand-in-hand with a plan
to make you panic and shake
to overheat and hyperventilate
you're afraid and you don't know why
you're crying and you don't know why
so much is happening yet you don't know why
the rooms gotten so small you can't breathe
the whispers so loud they're more like screams
you stand to your feet feeling weak in the knees
your heart is pounding
your peers are staring
your heart is racing
your hands are shaking
your heart is beating
you feel like screaming
what do you do?
you run
where are you going?
you don't know
but you're running
running, running, running
run, run, run
away, away away,

gone
