Overload

I spent my day 

With an anxious heart.

I go on my day,

But with every beat,

I feel the unrest that

Lives behind my lungs,

Aching into every breath,

Seeping into my veins,

Turning my nerves into fire,

Causing the brain to malfunction.

  1. You described perfectly what it feels like to live each day with anxiety, while no one around you can see what is going on internally.
