My New Friend Anxiety

98 18 13
                                    

Heart beat fastens
Thump Thump Thump
And I can't help but feel it
My hands quiver
And I ignore it
My stomach clenches
And that's when I can't do it

The sickening feeling worsens and I'm stuck
The walls feel closer
The room feels smaller
The door feels farther

You're okay.You're okay I whisper
Are you really? Asks the new voice
Causing my stomach to clench once again
My breath quickens
The voice taking over
You're not okay? Get out!

I close my eyes shut
No one notices
And I wish for someone to snap me out of it
Leave! It yells
And I hold it in
Thinking about home

Rinngggg
And I was out faster then anyone
The fresh air finally hitting me
Calming me down

I thought it was a one time thing
I thought that voice wouldn't come back
Oh,how wrong was I to underestimate my new friend?

I think having anxiety or experiencing any form of it is horrible and if anyone reading is suffering or has suffered then you are very brave. Anxiety is something that eats you away slowly an all you can do is watch.
