I can't

My breathing quickens

quackes and shudders 

it comes out in exasperated spurts

I can't control it

I can't stop it 

I can't predict it

My thoughts race

Lost in translation 

Behind a stuttering jaw

I can't focus

I can't stop panicking

I can't think

All eyes boreing holes

A million cackling voices

A gathering of unwanted judgments

I can't do this

I can't concentrate

I have to get out of here

Frozen in place

immobilized by terror

muted by anxiety

Anxious write.........calm down.

[Crazy Cat Man]

A great piece on anxiety that inhibits us from proceeding forward. A wonderful poem indeed i felt like this many times
