Anxiety

heart pounding in chest sounding like a war drum in times of duress
wanting wishing for it to stop
to be fearless
crying out help help help me please
agony a wounded animal 
drums beating again and again the tune a familiar one
you fight and give a war cry yet the war never end
but never give up
