Smothering, surrounding,
heart pounding,
palpitating,
hyperventilating,

extreme fatigue, unsolvable,
need to sleep, impossible,

tossing, turning, wide awake,
exhausting anxiety, stomach ache,
heavy limbs, weak knees,
filled with chronic unease,

body aches,
uncountable mistakes,
no motivation,
just rapid pulsation.

One hundred and twenty
beats per minute.
