Anxious Mind

There I stood, facing the open window
Feeling the bittersweet breath of rain on my face
My pulse beats fast like a railroad train.
I appear calm, but the worst is yet to come.
My mind is being swallowed up by the storm.
Eyes as big as saucers
I am paralyzed with fear, unable to accept it.
My breaths are countless.
Physical exhaustion is haunting my body.
I am screaming silently, am I losing my mind.
I am in torture, when is this over?
Throwing back my head I say a quick prayer…
Help me conquer this.
