My heart is racing,
and pounding,
the rhythm resounding.
Deep breath in,
but it's sounding
louder with each beat;
resounding.
Close my eyes
but it's still surrounding
every thought
and compounding
all that's left of me to nothing
but abounding anxiety.
Lord, I beg you to infuse in me
faith so astounding
that I can't escape your surrounding
love and propriety.
