It’s Coming

I feel it

Deep in my chest

I feel my muscles twist

Feel panic creep into my senses

I'm terrified

Of nothing

Of everything

Anxiety twists my heart

And gnaws at my soul

It makes me feel

Worthless

Makes me feel 

Abandoned

Makes me worry

Over nothing

Is it nothing?

Am I terrified 

For no reason?

I can't kill this monster in my chest

With logic

With Reason

Or knowledge

It doesn't matter

It's coming.

I can feel it rising up

Ready to twist my heart

Once again
