The Unknown

Take a deep breath,
easier said than done.
Grasping for air,
the curse has just begun.

My sight darkens,
as my life flashes.
Worries consume my thoughts,
ashes to ashes.

There is no rest.
No one can ever understand.
Unless you've dealt with it,
you wouldn't stand a chance.

Why? What? How?
Too many questions,
yet very few answers
keeping me wide awake.

It's only anxiety,
another day of black.
Thoughts so unsettling,
it's just another panic attack.

Escape. Run. Leave.
I am stuck within myself.
