Anxiety untold

I hold my breath and count to three
But as I breathe, it waits for me

As I lie in bed,Ā 
Thoughts twist and turn,
spinning in my head
Alone and lonely,
If they knew.
The internal pain I’m going through.

Tears burn like acid rain
While my brain thinks,
And thinks again.

My pulse thuds and heart races
As I scramble and search,
For friendly faces
Amongst those I loveĀ 
and hold so dear,
Yet they are centre of my fear.

I hold my breath and count to three
and hide the demons inside of me.
But as I do, they raise their head

To sink me here in my bed.
I try to breatheĀ 
and count to three
As anxiety rages inside of me.
Ā
