Is it my lungs? Or is it this air?
Why am I choking! And gasping with fear!
O lord! Do tell me!
What's this heavy weight on my chest!
This lump in my throat and sweaty forehead.
This feeling of doom or something bad upcoming.
Its like I've taken leap off some cliff.
But still not far enough to make it across.
"Hell no! You won't make it."- I hear it clear.
Something whispers it in my ears.
It lingers under my skin.
Bringing out my worst fears.
"What if I can't make it?"
"What if something happens?"
"What if I'm too late?"
Or "what if I just don't have it?"
All these damned "What ifs"!
Are killing me slowly.
I'm frozen! I'm shivering!
Quick! Please get me a blanket!
Of warm reassurance,
Pray help end my durance
Of darkness, hopelessness
Like this life's not worth it.
No matter how strong you are
Doesn't matter how tough you seem
This sneaky devil of anxiety, at some point,
Will surely get under your skin.
Nice
