Anxious Abandonment

Anxious Abandonment I need to be somewhere... Somewhere else than where I'm at Anxious, so very anxious Feeling like I am trapped and this is my home, but it is... is not for me, not right now I gotta get out! I can't breathe Closing my eyes, clenching my teeth Please! Please! Someone HELP ME! I need to be free...free of this constraint This awful constriction, please somebody listen! I can not even move, frozen here in my shoes What to do? What to do? Only 5 steps to the door, 5 feet of floor I can't take this feeling anymore I never learn...it hurts, it hurts! My chest burns, how can I ever return? Choking with fear, please get me away from here Anywhere, somewhere far or near but not here I finally leap...past the threshold I'm cold, I'm cold, now lost and alone Where am I now? Does anyone still care for me? I can finally breathe...Why did I leave? The anxiety...of everything...of failing... By abandoning all that failure I have become... Without Anyone... bmdavey@10/08/16
