Anxiety

I know I’ll get darked off I know it will happen
Every situation stunts to a crap end
The anxiety builds and it kills composure 
Brake leads dangle on hills, gravity shows ya,

Speed rises as you head for disaster 
Helpless to it, continuously faster 
The heartbeat pulse and cardiovascular
sweat beads bind as thoughts flabbergaster. 

This is anxiety, and what it’s like
It’ll strike anytime of day or night 
it overwhelms the mental fight
To a world of worry and constant fright

Anxiety is real; and so is this poem, Nick.
