HEART PALPITATIONS

You're telling yourself that you're okay
But your body is saying the opposite
You want to believe you're strong
But your body goes on to prove you wrong

You're anxious.
You're facing fear
Like never before

You're vision suddenly bails on you
You've had moments like these so few
The world seems to all be at your feet
And the wind in your lungs escapes like a fleet

Your heart is racing
Making record time
You're out of breath, you're out of words
You've become nothing more than a mime

And you're trying to calm yourself down
Telling your heart that it'll be okay
But your mind seems to be going the other way

And the suddenly
The blood comes rushing in
Your vision becomes clear
You think you've overcome your fear
And you're reborn again

Reborn with a new fear
One that could conquer your mind
Trying to find the peace, the calm
But it seems too hard to find
