False Reality

False Reality

Heart is racing like a man on fire

Thoughts are tumbling like clothes in a dryer

Muscles twitching like a crouching cat’s tail

Adrenaline is flowing and I’m coming off the rail

Panic button is stuck it’s full on fight or flight

Eyes wide open cause I cannot sleep at night

Pulse pounding, alarms sounding, fear hounding, Help me y’all, I’m drowning

Numb to all feelings except this frightening rush

Thoughts that yell and scream never seem to hush

Always feeling like the shoe is about to drop

Like I’m breaking the law right in front of a cop

Pictures and words flash across the computer screen

The monster in the closet is about to come clean

False reality, black infinity, gaining notoriety, this horror called anxiety
