Anxiety

Pulse crazy

Mind is more than racing

Fear conquers the body-hands, gut, face, and all

Anticipation and dread

It hurts my busy head

Wanting it all to end

Focus does not waiver or transcend

from the current, the new

Living in the moment

It's funny-how all it takes is a pinch of anxiety to do just that

The skill to do just that is one skill I very much lack

For now, I'm working on it

Baby steps

That's the only way I can help myself

Muscles tighten

Have to remind myself to breathe, and that I"m not in danger

But I never believe it

Impossible possibilities flying about mentally

Nothing there to save me

Want to scream and shout

But that's not what I'm all about-I don't ask for help.

Instead, eyes bulging, not blinking

I face reality in silence, watching, feeling all of it

For the temporary forever.
