Anxiety
I am terrified of you
But that’s how you like it, right?
Twisting, turning, tight
hoping to catch me by surprise
Whispering choices in my ear
and making it difficult to hear
my
own
thoughts
that you control with a grimace
on your hidden face

You’re terrified of me too though
because you and me both know
that one day, when I
find peace
you will cease
to exist
I will destroy you
I. hate. you.

But, for now
I will allow
you to mockingly sigh
As though I’m boring you
with my thoughts
of wanting
to
die
