My heart beats loud
in my chest
as the nerves
give way to unrest.
A toxic potion
of anxiety and depression.
I swallowed it whole
and can feel the pressure.
With my mind
I tried to push the weight
but after hours,
I was still in the same place.
Trapped
by my own emotion.
Frantically
grappling with thought erosion.
I’ve sent out the flare
and am waiting on the answer.
Will time bring someone
to be my savior?
