Frozen Noose

Anxiety (The Worst Noose In Town) -- like flooding waters, creeping in I count 30, seconds, holding my breath again Drowning in agitation, overwhelmed by fear I try to hide the pressure in hopes I don't pass out My pores are soaked, from all the perspiration I feel the pins and needles pushing in My skin is ruined from all the peeling At this point, I can't seem to win Washed out by dead hope and desire My soul is lost searching for a shore leashing, grasping and ripping the chest wide I count 40, seconds, once nausea can't be blocked Everything about this moment is driving me mad, I need to escape, however, my knees are too weak I tremble while losing control to the emotional distress My knuckles are pale, detached from reality, wounds forced with further embarrassment. Guaranteed failure surrounds my day Numbness strikes my very essence - I can't move! Lost in a room, Therapy - even so I feel singled out HAPPY VALENTINES (it can get the best of us) ---------------------------- love Linda
