That gut wrenching feeling

What has dawned upon me?
This wrenching feeling in my gut.
Like someone flipped a switch
It settled so abrupt.
My silence no salvation,
For this has grown within.
I can't control this feeling
And I feel that I have sinned.
These tendril tickle my stomach
And my digestion now slides up,
It's hard to hold food down
And I feel I've had enough.
I close my eyes to calm myself
But the darkness is no friend,
This antsy feeling drives me crazy
I wish this would all just end.
I pace in circles to stop my mind
But clarity is no where near.
I'm trapped by time, I need a sign,
That I have no need to fear.
My heart is racing and I slow no bones,
I just keep pacing.
I've been up for days,
I'm a human slave,
To this anxiety that plagues me.
