It seems…
In this day and age,
that there’s an anxiety for everything —
Health anxiety,
Social anxiety,
Performance anxiety,
…
…
(add yours here).
I have just discovered a new one for me…
Star Anxiety —
I need to have a star always on backup,
Ready to give,
Ready to post,
Ready to surrender...
To one of my poems
to obtain greater “real estate," most(ly),
in the Hello Poetry sphere —
Rather than write,
For writing's sake —
Now, I release and resolve,
Settle my heart and peace; I partake.
