So what if my point of view

you in comfortably warm
fluffed-up silky 
cashmere blankets 
of insecure insincerity

bleating from the 
chirping crickets 
and frog croaking
symphonies 
muddying waters

I Am Not My Fear
I feel I am drowning
In open air,
Clawing at dirt that isn’t there
No one sees my distress—
No one really cares

Of glasses and plates
Echoes of breathing and voices
Assault my senses,
And still I cannot breathe…

Its midnight,
And it’s settling in.
I’ve been home
Just a few hours.
Comfortable in my home,
At ease with my hobbies.
But then I feel it.
It starts with a tingling,
All over; inescapable.
But then its gone.
Like it was never even there.
