    ANXIETY

    My blood pressure goes high
    I get a twitch in my eye
    My heart goes from normal to an arrhythmic heart beat
    I start getting beads of sweat that are soon soaking the sheet
    My throat closes up then my mind starts racing
    Then I am in my hall way pacing
    Thinking any second I am going to drop dead
    But the doctors tell me its all in my head
    I felt this way for so very long
    I just want to prove them all wrong
    Is all this from a life time of harm
    Year after year of sticking a needle into my arm
    Then it all goes away and I feel great again
    Knowing it will come back I just don’t know when

    very deep and well written. showing the battle of ones mind. is it truly anxiety or the abuse of drugs that has driven one crazy.

    Oh, my god. I love this poem. It's terrific. So much thought expressed into so little words. When I read this I got chills. It's an amazing poem. I am happy to have read it!

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
