Anxiety

I’m alone in my room
In the semidarkness
8 pm, the dusk has stolen
The world’s color.
 
I’m aching in places
I’m too familiar with,
 These lines I tread
Are blurring blurrier.
 
Tongue in my teeth, my
Arms are too heavy to lift.
I am lost and furious
And cannot fix myself.
 
None of the noise is enough
To penetrate my skull.
I stare at a screen and hurt
And none can reach me.
