Paralysed by thoughts
I lowered the volume
Of the TV show
Unbearably so
I should really wake up
I am staring still
But soon the reality
Will shake my core
Unnervingly so
I should really wake up
The show is still on
I must remember that
It will end without me
Unspeakably so
I should really wake up
They are calling my name
I must respond
It will be too late
Concerningly so
Who will wake me up?

Powerful write. You convey anxiety well.
Thanks for reading, indeed that's what I was trying...
