Emotional Smoothie

One thought is all it takes One feeling that triggers A scenario that branches out Like a tree with multiple branches The various scenarios that might happen One thought becomes a bundle. My eyes swell with tears As I try to hold them back Like a dam about to break To flood the land below. Unknown voices speak to me From the "what if" clips Of the possible outcomes That may play out. A thought caused by suspicion A thought caused by trauma A thought caused by issues A thought caused by anxiety. No matter the subject Just one chaotic thought Can create a virus from within Without warning it'll strike Making you feel drained of life. My heart begins to race My breathing begins to increase My body begins to freeze My mind spinning like a wheel. I feel as though All my emotions Were thrown into a blender A finger pressing the on button Beginning to swirl and swish Transforming them into a chaotic smoothie. A smoothie that had a bitter taste Then shifts to tangy before spicy Salty sweet before dreadful disgust It is a smoothie thats hard to digest.
