---

All wound up, on the edge, terrified,

sleep disturbed, restless mind petrified.

Bouts of fear permeate all I see,

heightening nervousness threatens me.

I am paralyzed,

so afraid to die!

Caught off guard,

warning signs never show.

Tension strikes, choking me,

worries grow.

Why do I feel so numb,

is it something to do

with where I come from?

Should this be

fight or flight?

I don't know why I'm

constantly so uptight.

Rapid heartbeat

pounding through my chest,

agitated body in distress.

I feel like I'm in danger,

daily life is strangled

by my stress.

A stifling surge shooting

through all my veins,

extreme apprehension,

suddenly I'm insane.

Lost all hope

for redemption.

A grave situation,

desperate at best.

Why do I feel so numb?

Why do I feel so numb,

is it something to do

with where I come from?

Should this be

fight or flight?

I don't know why I'm

constantly reeling.

Helpless hysteria,

a false sense of urgency.

Trapped in my phobia,

possessed by anxiety.

Run, try to hide,

overwhelmed by this

complex delirium.
