Drowning


Those moments that you feel like you're about to drown

When your anxiety is up and you can't calm down

When you hear all of the noises but feel like you aren't there

Like you're sinking farther under the water without air

So you start freaking out in your mind and on the outside

You don't want people to see all you want is to hide

It gets so bad that you feel like you have no air to inhale

Your hands get sweaty, your legs go numb, and you go pale

It really feels like you're on the road to death

So you're just waiting to take your final breath

But the end doesn't come at least not yet

You just end up falling into your saftey net

The thing that snaps you out of an attack

The makes sure your back on the right track

It gets really scary when you have the feeling of going 

But you always have something that tries not to let your mind wonder
