Sometimes anxiety slips in so slight
A gentle tremor just out of sight
A knee softly taps, a silent alarm
Invisible signals concealed from harm
Hands twist and fidget, searching for peace
Caught in a cycle that struggles to cease
Eyes avoid meeting another’s gaze
Lost in a labyrinth, tangled in haze
Weight presses down on a too-tight chest
A muted ache that won’t let you rest
You wear your composure, forge a disguise
Floating through spaces with practiced replies
Yet sometimes the storm can no longer be masked
Shaking and gasping, you’re visibly tasked
The world seems to pause, no longer so blind
As panic erupts, untempered, unkind
You sense your heart begin to seize
You slip away in silence so no one sees
Breathe through the weight till the thunder is gone
The sun finds your shadows, the day presses on
