ANXIETY

Anxiety is an animal

Anxiety is a carnivorous beast

Anxiety grips onto you and doesn’t let go, digging its fangs in

Anxiety has painful fangs

Anxiety has claws (retractable)

Anxiety sits on the edge of a table, meowing morosely

Anxiety digs its claws in when it doesn’t want to do something

Anxiety reminds you it needs feeding

Anxiety hisses, bites and scratches

Anxiety eats ferociously, draining you.

Anxiety gives you disdainful looks

Anxiety reminds you it needs feeding

Anxiety has tiny fangs

Anxiety reminds you again it needs feeding

Anxiety looks down at you with its hairy body from the top shelf

Anxiety will sit with you, out of spite

Anxiety is only doing so to remind you he needs feeding

Anxiety might fall asleep

Anxiety might bite your hand while you fall asleep, he needs food

Anxiety is fed

Anxiety might possibly maybe if you-are-really-very-nice allow you to pet him.

Anxiety falls asleep

You fall asleep

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anxiety reminds you he needs feeding, loudly.
