Fear

So consumed by the feeling
Nothing about this is healing
Mind so full of unknowns
The rest of your being groans
Thumping head pain from every direction
Thoughts go in the wrong trajection
Spinning with the worst case scenarios 
Hearing nothing from the stereos 
The only thing heard is the voice inside
Horrible thoughts must subside
Every eventuality portrayed 
Only the mind that betrayed
No clear thought or positivity 
Just reminders of probability 
So much could go upside down
Stress and anxiety forcing me to drown
The weight of the world on the shoulders
Straight ahead are massive boulders 
No way to skirt around
Only one way is mountain bound
Legs dragging with every step
Trying to focus not to misstep 
Fear controlling every action 
Every option is dissatisfaction 
Fear is the one in control
Fear has stolen my soul
