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
