Poems
Mar 2017
[keep out]
The barbed wire in my chest
Pokes and prods with each halting breath
Nothing is easy anymore
With it sitting there
Unwinding slowly
It rakes its claws against my insides
Around my bones
Into my lungs
Any sudden movement
Any risk
Any chance
Digs it only deeper
There is no room for error in this body of mine
I am a walking keep out fence
To me this is what anxiety feels like.
Not heavy like depression but cutting like wire.
