I'Ve Got To Stop This!

My life is out of control
anxiety creeps through my guts
my teeth grit on their own
heat flashes up my spine

I see it, I feel it
though there is nothing
I can do to stop it
that I can think of

I want so much 
to be in control
but there is nothing 
I can grasp onto

Nothing within my cells
that I can find
which will stop all this
as it just carries on!

It's like a fire burning
with no water to put it out
it rages on through my forest
aiming for my house

There seems to be no way to evacuate!

SKB, praying
