Anxeity

Anxiety is like a spider.
Around your heart with its legs entangled.
Stabbing slowly 
moving pressure into the very veins that keep you alive.
Breathing becomes shorter.
quicker, Quicker, QUICKER!
Then the spider bites.
Everything explodes in that moment. 
Not just the heart the whole body,
spinning towards the ground at uncontrollable speeds.
You can never stop it. 
I wish it would just STOP!
