Panic

Zero to 500 instantly 
The immediate urge to
both stay and flee
A crawling sensation
creeping from the heart
to all parts of me. 

A dire feeling of urgency 
A screaming of insecurity 
Too much false comfort and nurturing 
Ignorance of reality. 

I want to run and I want to stay 
Bundled up in covers of dependency 
A sickness keeps burning holes in me 
And I am slowly forgetting how to breathe

This is very deep and relatable. It does well inspiring the feeling of anxiety that most of us have experienced before! Thanks for sharing this!

Nice! Feels like anxiety, panic attacks, from the way you wrote it with such feeling I'd say it sounds like you've had them before, definitely get's the point across, well done.

This came to me as I woke up this morning. It is both about anxiety and about the emotions tied to love and human relationships.
