I've had some random things floating in my head lately so I'll be posting them here and there.
There's a rumbling in my chest. It's low and it's steady and no one notices it but me.
I hear it grow, I feel it pulse, it takes all my focus.
A sandstorm breaks out beneath my ribs and robs me of my breath.
The momentum trickles to my fingers, to my toes, to my teeth.
I move because I worry the energy might burst through me
If I bounce my knee, tap my fingers, chew my lip
When I talk a hundred miles an hour it feels like I can out run it
When my arms ache and my teeth are sore, I observe
Are people staring at me?
Is someone agitated by the clicks and thumps?
Just when I start to wonder, it rushes back
My heart is in my ears; racing, wanting, begging
I am eaten alive from the inside
A.N.X.I.E.T.Y.
