Waves of anxiety

Boom, boom, boom. Throb, throb, throb. The heart beats and beats and beats. The pulsing sensation spreads, legs shake, toes wiggle, feet stomp. Please sit still. It is foreign. Please focus. It is impossible. Stop. Stop. Stop. It stops. But then it goes again. The whole body is in a hurry, but to go nowhere. There is a sense of urgency and rush, hurry and bustle in the mind. Be still. Be still. Be still. A moment of calm, a moment of peace. And there it goes again. Boom, throb, beat. Shake, wiggle, stomp. Waves of anxiety.
