Anxiety
drowning 
 barely breathing 
 struggling to catch my breath
 life filling up my lungs
 strangling every gasp for air
 my chest is tight and getting tighter
 my heart continues to pump
 ever so slightly growing 
 with each sporadic beat
 i have no room for error
 my chest is growing tighter
 lungs have no space to expand
 every breath is sparse
 my face is growing dizzy
 no
 my head is spinning faster
 my mind running in circles
 thinking thinking thinking
 all the running makes me sick
 i cant breathe
 my mind is thinking
 no don't run in circles
 i tell myself 
 BREATHE
 no dont do it
 breathing leads to gasping
 gasping leads to strangling
 strangling leads to 
 drowning
