Anxiety

My body is shaking
Palms moist with cold sweat
My lungs don't seem to work
My brain won't let me forget

The issues that coil around my heart
A snake paralyzing its prey
I feel like I'm being torn apart
Please, just go away

Why can't I calm down?
There's poison in my heart
Pulsing through my veins
These decisions aren't smart

My way of coping
I'm so sorry, body
But what am I to do
This fear has got me

Ensnared in its web
Struggling, unable to break free
My body is weak, mind weaker
It just won't leave me be
