The Monster In My Head

Tight lungs,

Burning throat,

Stomach ache,

Teary eyes,

Pounding headache,

Blurred vision,

Shaking body,

Spacing out,

Not knowing what's happening.

Everything is happening so fast

Yet, so slow at the same time.

It's going by in a blur,

But, one minute seems,

Like an hour.

All of the noises are so loud,

Yet,

I can't hear anything anyone is saying to me.

The monster in my head is too loud.

“Everybody is staring at you”

“You so ugly compared to everybody else”

“You’re fat”

“You’re stupid”

“You’re wearing the wrong clothes”

“They’re all whispering about you”

Everything the monster says is so hurtful,

No wonder I hate myself so much,

That monster is my worst enemy and I can't escape it.

Some days are worse than others,

Some Days his voice is quiet,

And I can pretend to be normal,

Other days I sit on the dirty bathroom floor,

crying my eyes out,

This is all caused by the anxiety monster,

That lives in my head.

Yes, Anxiety is real, and I know just how real it feels. Nicely written, way to express the step by step feeling of it. though it really just happens all at once.
