Anxiety

by Angel Portales aged 15

My worries are overcoming me.
All the stress piled upon me.
They’re messing with my mind not letting me be.

My nerves are tensed.
I’m already depressed.
I can barely get some rest.

All the nervousness taking over my mind.
Relaxation is what I can’t find.
Tensed and anxious is my state of mind.
Relief is what I can’t find.

My heart beat getting faster and faster.
My breathing gets heavier and harder.
My temples hurting and aching.
My stomach feeling sick and hurting.

All my thoughts overcoming me.
All my problems rush to mind.
All my worries not letting me be.
All my emotions intertwined.

I start to panic.

What do I do?
Where do I go to?
Who do I go to?

My sight gets blurry.
My mind all in a hurry.
I start to go blind.
It’s like nothing of ever kind.
Control my body can’t find.
I can’t get to a peaceful state of mind.

My mind goes blank.
I knock and pass out.
