Somebody help me!

I want to be free,

But I can’t let go

Of this horror show.

I’m trapped in misery,

Don’t know any way out,

It’s always a mystery

Why I can’t get rid of this doubt!

Somebody save me, please!

I’m tired of my heart racing,

Of being blown over by the breeze,

And of the panic embracing.

My head says “LIVE!”

But my heart says “STOP!”

As if I’ve been stabbed with a shiv

I fall with a plop.

I have to remind myself to breathe,

I feel suffocated,

Oh, when will this anxiety take its leave?

Please, please let it be before I disintegrate.
