Anxiety

poem by: Royce B
Written on Apr 17, 2016

Inside out
Stifling a shout
Tears streaming down
Fear has you bound
Paralyzed by pain
Traaped by your disdain
Lost in the dark
Your agony is stark
It all feels empty
Yet it's a too heavy
Your guts are screaming
Wishing you were dreaming
You can't even breathe 
It all begins to seethe
There is no peace
No hope for release
Your mind will crack
Drowning you in the black
