I am the pit in your stomach, the clammy cold hands

I am the evil little worm, twisting and gyrating within

I am that sinking despair, all consuming

I am the electrocution, the shaking and shuddering

I am distorted adrenaline, lurking deep inside

I am dread, speeding your inevitable demise

I am here, everyday, all the time, everywhere

I instill your darkest fears, dashing your fondest dreams and hopes

I will become you, you will betray yourself, your family and friends

I will ensure that you will never be the same, rending your own heart to shreds

I have always been here and always will be.

Here to stay forevermore.

I am Anxiety.
