Anxiety

Anxiety

 By Starsha Brown

Whispered, murmured, stuttered words like a blustering sea with wind tossed waves.

The explanation lost to the nature of the storm in my head.

Communication stands still as my mind tosses to and fro in the seasickness of a sinking ship's demise.

Sirens sounding drowning out the stillness of outward realities while inside the sucking, jerking, swirling, spins me beyond the reach of comprehensive explanations.

My heart, like thunder raging through the sky, races ceaselessly.

My stomach heaves as it attempts to ride the perilous stampeding waves.

Catapulting towards chaotic darkness my panic thickens until I choke upon the fear.

Oceans spilling forth from my eyes like eternal rain.

Consumed by the surge of the chemical kraken unleashed within my veins.

Fighting, flighting, running, hiding...

No compass here to escape the gale that I have been lost in time and time again.

Time, nonexistent, fast forwards, rewinds, past, future, present, future...
Present....

Just Breathe...
                        Just Breathe....
                                                  Just Breathe....
