Anxiety

sometimes it is not real 
 those words you spit out 

 venom ladened
 enclosed in a ritualistic chant

 haunting the night 
 shadows confirm my thought 

 deeper into everything 
 i am consumed

 deeper and deeper i sink
 can't find up 

 the pressure is so overwhelming
 just want it to end as you begin 

 you whisper your screaming thoughts
 i find it harder to be

 in this sea of uncertainty   
 drowning sweetly deep
