Make Me Anxious
Title. Whether it's a mismatched title and body text, prose written to bring forward feelings of anxiety, an anxious poem, a stream of anxious thought - if you feel it will incite anxiety, I want to see it! Any style, any subject matter.
running
I’m smarter, more successful
Also sadder, more stressful
suffocating
Pit fever burning
waiting and yearning
Stomach dropped nerves
no straight lines
it‘s all curves
taking me at breakneck speed
I should be on top of the world
but I’m chasms deep
high pressure
high stakes
low faith
another mistake
time ticking to the dead line
my brain screaming it’s not fine
guilt sits, Atlas shrugged
anger burns, anxiety runs
