Anxiety

ANXIETY
A wave that grows from deep inside of me
to bring me down; I feel it start to grow;
its only name--is called--anxiety,
where it comes from, no one could ever know.

As tiny needles prick my skin I feel
sensation of a drifting tenderness 
that goes from here to there--and so un-real,
it leads my mind to only second guess

at what's invading to the all of me,
and tingles from my fingers, to my toes;
abducted from my world of sanity,
I fall into a darkness no one knows.

And shaken to an end I can't embrace,
I feel its kiss--but never see its face.

"Judy has a way she doesn't even know, sometimes I can touch her (hand) Knowing she will know Things I cannot show Knowing, she'll understand...' It is a song, Judy, a very beautiful song and it is on Youtube, JUDY HAS A WAY. Thank you.
