Anxiety Tsunami

Anxiety tsunami

I feel like a mine,trapped inside a box.
the more I try to free myself, the smaller it gets.
smaller and smaller
 tighter and tighter, till I feel it in my chest.
that tightness feels almost suffocating.
 almost wanna break open the bones of your chest just for a chance to breathe, almost desperate.
before I know it,I feel lighter and lighter till I'm lying naked wishing I could peel the skin off my chest.
before I feel it rushing.
that tingling feeling rushing  from the tips of my fingers all through my body.
 then it pours rain and thunder till I can finally start feeling the tightness start to lift and I'm left lying there shivering and wet.
 just drained feeling like you want to give in and just lay there almost desperate to die..
