Headache

My head is aching, it's a skull pounding sensation.
My hands are shaking, from the constant anxious narration. 
Trying to breathe deeply, keep this train from leaving the station, 
I know this is my own diffident manifestation. 


For me anxiety is an expectation;
I stop talking to myself and start to listen, 
Let this fear become an infestation, it was all of my own creation. 
This is my cowed vocation.
