Anxiety

The gray of morning fog that constricts your sight
The rotten taste of fruit that was left untouched
The scent of smoke filling up a room
The pile of work that’s due the next morning
The beeping of an alarm clock that won’t shut off
The cold hand wrapped around your throat

The silent shadow following you down the street
The constant stream of voices in your head
The doubt that fills every waking moment of the day

The second guessing
The insecurities
The irrational fears

It follows you around, whispers in your ear, and slowly suffocates you

Anxiety
