Anxiety

Fish hook mouth and sand in my throat
Do not speak 
Do not speak
Silence, your thoughts
Are fluff from a dandelion 
Floating 
Floating
Never still 

No one will hear when you shatter
Little mirror
Your reflection is gone 
Monster in the place of your chest
Monster in the place of palpitations
Screaming 
No noise
