You will not win

Glamorosa

My heart is pounding
My head is aching
My stomach feels like rocks
My throat is dry
My hands are clammy and I can't sit still
I have this feeling
This feeling deep inside
It's clawing and forcing its way out of me
This monster controlling
Not letting me sleep
Anxiety you bastard
You will not win
I have fought meaner demons than you
And I will not let you
I will fight and I will rip you right out of me
This is one battle
With this one human
That you will not win
