Anxiety
Furrowed down deep within
Burrowed while walking in a crowd
Silencing my thoughts & opinions
For fear of drowning
Existing in a world where I don't belong
Except for the saving power of love
Sculpting angels from the earth
Breathing life into everything I do
A maker of my own universe
Living in traverse
Visiting worlds from some forgotten dream
I am mortal, made up of memories & countless desires
Ashamed of being myself
Afraid of revealing too much of my fragility
Embarrassed to express myself
For fear of being judged by out of work actors & subjugators
Lingering in the doorframe
Looking for someone to blame
For the life I named
Never owning my intentions.
