Essay Time

Anxiety is…

The thing about anxiety is…

My whole life I’ve had anxiety and…

I was going to write an essay about myself but,

I keep getting stuck.

I keep getting embarrassed.

I want to be stoic.

After a long night, a paper does make its way to her desk.

I decided not to write about myself.

I wrote about something else, I don’t remember what.

I got a B.

If I had written about myself…

Maybe I could have gotten a B+

Or maybe I would fail.

I’m ok with a B.

Anxiety is,

Something I don’t want to share, anyway.
