From Anxiety

Thoughts spiral above my head,

a twister of chaos

destroying everything in its path.


Hands shaking,

holding tight to reality.


I must face this frightening fit of terror alone,

and walk with the chaos above my head.


The burden to bear,

of an unbalanced brain is bitter,

a cold taste of fear,

a hard swallow.


Wanting,

very much,

to be free.
