I've got this feeling in my chest

It doesn't leave

It never rests

I feel it breaking

Down my soul

Consuming me so

I don't feel whole

Anxiety surrounds me

And I listen to the voices

Howling inside me...

 

My heart is screaming inside my chest

It doesn't stop

It never rests

I feel it struggle to speak its mind

But I smother it down

It falls deeper every time

But no matter the depth

That I push it down

It climbs back up

And continues to pound
