Never Gonna Happen

i keep thinking
if i put my head down
when i pick it back up,
all of my fears, thoughts, and anxieties
will have gone away.
i know that won't happen.
i need to rid myself
of this constant building
tension that i feel.
my anxiety level
is so farfetched
that i can't even understand
how i'm still here.
one of these days,
the thought of it being a heart attack
will no longer be just a thought.
the pressure in my chest and back
are becoming unbearable.
now, i put my head down
and the only thought
in my head is the hope that
all of my fears, thoughts, and anxieties
will have disappeared
by the time i pick it back up.
i know that won't happen.
