My anxiety

My anxiety is like a heavy comforter
To me uncomfortable
Its like a duvet, being inside a duvet i cant breathe
This air has already been in my lungs i need fresh air
But my hands wont stop shaking
My whole body is trembling and im hoping they dont notice
Im screaming inside my head  
Im telling my brain to move my lips
Yet nothing is happening
Im trapped inside this flesh that i cant control
"Itll pass" i whisper to myself
"This feeling isnt forever" yet it lingers
My hands are trembling, shaking its like theres an earth quake going on inside my body
I feel like im convulsing  
My heart beat is throbbing drum  
Beating faster with every minute
My throat feels so dry  
I dont trust my hands to hold onto the glass
I can imagine it shattering
I can imagine it
And then thats all i can think about
Until my brain starts racing again
2 hours
3 hours
And then i can move, i can blink without clenching  
And i think thats what peace feels like
