Anxiety

I Sink into a river 
Of stress
And anxiety
What if I don't graduate?
What if I don't get into medical school?
Questions swirl in my mind
As other people look 
And wonder 
Why are you stressed?
Your life is not that hard
Just because I am 19 
Does not mean I don't have stress
Does not mean that things can be hard for me
Each day its like another a rope is 
Attaching to my leg
pulling me further 
Into the river
Making it harder to breathe and
to live my life
I hate anxiety
