like an inflating balloon
With each breath
and each heart beat
panic settles
like drowning under water
The surface fades
and I accept fate
Peace penetrates
with seconds to spare
I gulp air hungrily
and cling to life
while waves of anxiety
crash threateningly around me

Anxiety swells
like an inflating balloon
With each breath
and each heart beat
panic settles
like drowning under water
The surface fades
and I accept fate
Peace penetrates
with seconds to spare
I gulp air hungrily
and cling to life
while waves of anxiety
crash threateningly around me
