"I'm sorry" she cries,
Sweet lullabies,
The fear of failure takes over her,
She is paralyzed by her fears,
Laying in bed softly shaking,
All she wants is someone to hold her,
anxiety in, anxiety out,
Deep breaths and worries,
Shaking increases,
She tries not to cry,
The sounds of the world take over her ears,
A fan blowing,
A TV playing a movie,
Cars passing in the streets,
A nursery rhyme in her head,
Anxiety paralizing her,
She can barely move,
Struggling to breathe,
She takes a deep breath,
In and out,
Anxiety.
