It happens so quickly
going from ok to overwhelmed
I feel just fine sitting in my chair
Then become shrouded in shade
A heavy weight sits on my shoulders
pushing my chest to the floor
My skin goes from cold or merely comfortable
To burning as hot as the flames
Worried or nervous, concern or fear
Whatever it may be, it takes over me
My heart jumps up and down
Yet squeezes tight as a fist
I move inward to myself
willing everything else to go away
every noise becomes deafening
the lights become too bright
My body shakes and quivers
the tears well up in my eyes
Worried or nervous, concern or fear
Whatever it may be, it takes over me
this feeling is goes on
for what feels like forever
but with time and waiting
I go back to ok
