Anxiety
It creeps up
Suddenly
Colours too
Bright
Voices
Too loud
God,
The sharp
Barbs
Of sound
And light
Panic
Panic
Run
Fight
It's dark
It's quiet
That just means
The predator's waiting
Where?
There
Here
Everywhere
Why are
You so
Scared?
There's nothing there
I can't see it
But I feel it
The base of
My spine
The sweat
On my ribs
Why am I so scared?
Panic fades
But I'm tired
I wait for it to creep up
Again
Again
Again
