Anxiety

Sleep eludes...I wake up in a panic
I can't catch my breath, hand to chest
I can feel my heartbreaking
Dreams of love, life, and death

Tears roll down my face
And I have to tell my heart
It's just dreams...that feel real
But the feeling doesnt depart

I still carry the heavy dread
It weighs down my spirit and soul
And though I smile and laugh aloud
Inside I'm confused and cold

The anxiety of the unknown
Constantly on my mind
Waiting for truths and answers
I hope to one day find
