Anxious Sips

I was wracked with anxiousness- The same overwhelming sensation that attacks your body and mind When you bring your lips in contact with the sticky rim of a cup Funneling out spirals of hot content warning signs You try to cool down the situation staring you straight in the face By puffing out blows of chilling air to numb the subject It starts to become too much, however, The anxiousness of finishing what you started and you dive straight in Closing your eyes to allow the flaming contents fill your mouth to the brink of explosion Then it is over. You dive in for another sip in case the first time was just a laugh Then you realize that the heat has not yet subsided Allow yourself time to recover before you ruin it all, With one anxious mistake.
