Anxiety

Anxiety

My stomach flips and burns,
My heart hits the floor,
My knees twitch and buckle.
This has all happened before…

My lip begins to quiver,
My lungs fight for air,
My hands are visibly shaking.
I wish I didn’t care.

My mind is racing,
With future-tripping illusions,
Causing so much pain,
Unwanted confusion.

Take a moment to close my eyes...
Take a moment to realize...

I don’t give myself enough credit.
I am resilient, I am strong.
And I know I can survive it,
If something goes wrong.

My heart begins to calm.
My body becomes still.
I've changed my mind.
And I’ve found my will.

Tired but couldn't sleep. Felt like writing. So I did.

=\ Bleeeh.

The rhyming scheme is very simple, but effective for the most part.

"With future-tripping illusions"
^I don't like this line... What the hell is future tripping anyway? It sounds forced. and I dont like it.

"My lip begins to quiver,
My lungs fight for air,
My hands are visibly shaking.
I wish I didn’t care."
^This is a very easy rhyme, and it sounds... cheap... I guess I'll go with that word... But as a whole, i enjoy this verse/stanza. I'm sure most people have felt this way, but you don't directly say the meaning... It's an easy metaphor, really, and by using it, you make it applie to most readers.
