Overwhelmed

 
sometimes I can get so overwhelmed  
lost in the swirling twirling around  
before I know it I’ve chewed up my lip  
and it starts feeling like I’m losing grip  
on reality, what does it all mean?!  
too many thoughts internally competing  
lists I’ve made are meant to prevent this  
 
from happening  
in the first place  
 
but it’s a pace  
I can’t maintain  
 
slowly losing  
all I’ve gained  
 
anxiety  
 
wins
