Anxiety
Fast heart rate,
sweaty palms,
emotions overwhelming you,
starting to break down,
these terrible thoughts take over you,
downward spiraling into depression,
just want to escape;
but you can't outrun your own mind...
your throat dry and tight,
it feels like someone is strangling you,
your stomach in knots,
unable to eat, can barely breath.
"why so on edge?"
"you're weak!"
"Anxiety isn't a REAL problem,"
"Just don't be anxious..."
I'm so sorry
that everyday
I feel like I'm in the way,
of EVERYONE else
I'm sorry that I'm so tired
being picked apart from anxious thoughts
crying myself to sleep
every. single. night.
I'm sorry I messed up our presentation,
I just couldn't stop shaking
I couldn't stop hyperventilating
I couldn't stop thinking....
I couldn't help but think
"what if I trip?"
"what if I say the wrong thing?"
"what if they laugh at me?"
Every single day
plagued by these thoughts
and more,
Anxiety
