Anxious

Upon the breath of chaos
it lives in the depths of
my mind waiting for its time.

I am always surprised by
its interruption, it brings
me painful reminders of my
weaknesses and sensory.

It becomes needless, fogged,
and tingly across my skin
my vision blurs and breathing
becomes heavy.

I want to crawl away into
a dark place, empty my mind
until I push it out of my
space.

Anxiety was never my friend
its painful and consuming.
