Anxiety

The walls are closing in on me
I don't know what to do
A helplessness descends
As the life I know is through

A ripple runs right Through my veins
As my head begins to spin
I wish I knew the way to push through this din

People cannot understand
The frustration and the turmoil
As my seem to legs get weaker
And my bones begin to boil

Am I going crazy?
Is this the way most people think?
I wonder as I'm heaving
Over the kitchen sink

Panic is the word attached
To my own frame of mind
I fit all the symptoms
And I recognise the signs

But I am one of many
Though I find it hard to say
Thank goodness I'm not the only one
To feel this way

I hope that I'll get rid of it
And have a healthy mind
But a pure conscience
Is not easy just to find

Just breathe a lot and get
To grips with reality as it is
But this is not to be ignored
Not something to dismiss

It's difficult to understand
While not in my shoes
But considering the minds of others
Gives you nothing to lose

Imagine if your stress and worry
Turned straight into pain
And imagine the world offers
Nothing for you to gain
