Covid - Through the Eyes of Anxiety

Everyday started out the same before.
People would be close,
but not too close.
We would hug,
kiss,
and greet each other.
Meet with friends and family on the weekends.
But now our world is turned upside down.
Overnight we were isolated,
life held its breath
and the world's heart beat stopped.
Panic swept through like a roaring river.
Shelves were empty.
Roads were abandoned so much that my shadow scared me.
Masks took over,
and breathing became difficult,
but the world regained some life
while the stench of death coated the globe.
People didn't listen,
they never listen.
The masks were torn away like band aides from and open wound,
and thrown away like yesterdays news.
The stores became so croweded
each aisle was like it was before.
My chest tightened.
Too close my mind shouted.
The woman in line stepped closer.
Too close!
Back away I wanted to scream.
Breathing down my neck 
My heart clenched.
Stop!
You're too close!
Please I can't breathe!
Can't you see?
I can't breathe!
I am so panicked I can't even breathe right.
My heart is so tight it feels like someone is squeezing it,
waiting for it to burst!
Go back to safety!
Please go back to staying away from me.
Please wear your mask so I can breathe!
Your rights!
What about my rights?
I deserve the right to a prosperous life,
to good health.
So why should my health suffer for your lack of care?
Get to the car.
Lather my hands with hand sanitizer like a greased pig.
Get home.
Wash hands.
Walk into bedroom.
Wash hands.
Take off clothes.
Wash hands again. 
Put on clean clothes.
Take the thirty minutes it takes to calm down from my panic attack and just breathe.
Anxiety is not a life long friend,
its a foe that sticks to my hip like glue.
It stops me in my tracks,
covers my mouth,
and strangles me to death as I just try to get something from the store.
Stay away!
Your too close!
Follow the rules,
wash your hands,
six feet distance,
wear mask.
Follow the rules unlike everyone else.
Too close!
Stay away!
That's what is inside my anxiety prone mind.

I'M Done

I’m done taking everything you give me.
You make me feel like an utter piece of .
I’m done
you hear me!
Done!

Done with your hurtful looks,
done with your perfection.
Your snotty glares,
your judging stares.
I have taken so much,
I have lost so much.
I’m done!

I’m so done!
Are you happy!
Are you happy that you have changed me into this?
Are you happy?
I have laid my head done in defeat.
I’m tired of fighting you!
I’m done with being a fake person!
I’m done being told that I’m worthless!

I’m so done trying and trying.
I’m so done with pleasing you,
losing me in the process
I’m done letting you rule my life!
I just want to be free from you!

You say you love me,
love the way I dress
care about me.
But you are the person that may just hurt me the most!
I’m done getting hurt but the people I love the most!
I am so sick of being someone I’m not and it’s killing me!

It hits in waves your words,
The way you pointed that day and just laughed!
It hurt,
you don’t know how done with life I was that day,
the day that you pretended to love the dress I was wearing!

I’m so done being judged by you and your mother,
even my family!
I just want to be me without looking for your approval
without looking to you for some sort of comfort.

My mother was right!
I have such a life ahead of me,
I don’t need you!
I am me!
It doesn’t matter who I offended,
at least I’m not trying to be a copy of someone I’m not.
But it hurts having to have you look an judge me because of that!

I’m so done with this!
You were my closest companion!
I loved you so much I worshiped you!
I wanted to be you!

You don’t worry about if your family can go to the movies,
if you’ll have enough gas to make it till Friday when dad gets paid!
You don’t have that stress!
You don’t have to be told how many times that it is your own fault that your clothes don’t fit,
that your fat,
that you need the gym.

You don’t know how many times when you made jokes about my weight how many times I cried.
You don’t know because you never even cared enough to know me!
And that is why sometimes you can push me so far before I break!
I can’t take any more of this!
I’m so done!

So goodbye my cruel friend!
Goodbye for good!
Goodbye to your stares,
your evil glare!
Goodbye to you.

Maybe someday you’ll change,
and realize what you did to someone that just wanted to be friends.
Maybe just maybe you’ll feel remorse,
regret,
and you’ll change,
and you know what.
No matter what you put me through I’ll be fine,
I’ll forgive you.
Maybe not the pain or the damage you caused,
but I’ll forgive you as the new person standing in front of me.

I won’t deal like you,
I’ll be kind,
I’ll listen to your cries for help,
and I’ll help,
I won’t watch as you wither away,
lost in not knowing yourself.
I will love you the way that I hoped you would have loved me.
I’ll be the friend that I wanted you to be,
and then,
then maybe we can start to fix what you broke.

Have I Told You That

Have I told you that I love the way the sun falls gently on your lips,
or the way your laugh causes a happy story to erupt in my mind.
Have I told you that I love you?
Have I told you that I have a secret?

Have I ever told you about my favorite shows,
my dreams,
the way I think about you when I listen to the old lo-fi songs on YouTube.
Have I told you that I remember when we were younger and I’d chase you around,
did I ever tell you that I wish I could have kept you in my arms?

Have I told you that I wish so much that you would have kept sleeping on my arm forever,
or that we could have kept passing love notes to each other?
Have I told you that for the last twelve years I have loved you?

I loved you from the first time I saw you,
but I guess it's better to stay silent than tell you. 
I’m just afraid if I told you, 
we might not be the same.

Have you ever asked me what my favorite song was,
or how I would cry at the thought of you not being in my life? 

Have I ever told you that when I hug my stuffed animal at night I wish it were you there instead,
that your warmth could hold me in the cold dark of night?
My dearest friend,
have I told you that I love you?

Slipping

I’m slipping again,
Just like I always do.
I am slipping back into the darkness.

I was sitting in class with groups, but I was nothing, 
I am nothing. 
The girls were laughing and talking about prom,
And all I could do was sit there.

I was invisible, 
I was nothing.

They talked about sparkles on dresses, 
or colors,
or patterns, 
and I was there internally screaming and crying!

I don’t let many people see my tears, 
or my tired and sad face that is taken over by a smile.
There’s one person who makes me smile, 
and laugh.
I can’t say that I love them because,
because I am afraid.
Afraid of more judgement and distancing.
I am afraid of losing what I hold dear.

The girls continued to talk. 
I wish I could talk about happy thing like dresses and wild nights on the town,
but all I can think about is a lovely swan dive off the roof! 

I hate how I have to hide who I am and when I finally show who I am 
I am told I am obsessed,
I’m weird,
I am stupid. 

Well you know what I am sorry that you think that!!
I am sorry that I am short,
that I am weird,
that I can’t be a beautiful brunette that can be happy just being ditsy!
I am sorry that I can’t just be happy with what you like!

I am invisible,
I am no one.
I am just the redhead that wants to be herself.

The one that contemplated not going into the library for my paper,
the one that would have rather found the way onto the roof,
and just taken the jump.

Somedays I really wish I did,
but then there is always someone that I see or says just the right thing that snaps me back.
It brings me back for the people that actually care, 
for the people that love, 
for the people that don't care and support who I am,
they mean more to me than anyone in the world.

Broken Glass

Shatter! 
The broken glass goes.
Smash!
The sharp pieces are broken.

Cut!
The long ropes of hair fall
then silence,
nothingness,
and a drip.

Drip!
DRIP!
Ringing lie the meadowlarks.
The awful drip
as a life is lost!

Drip into the seams of cracks and the lines of walls.
Drips from the broken glass.
Drip and come forth from the heart.
The dark dreamy blood of the soul,
drip until I am gone,
drip until all is waste.

The mirror started it all,
she spoke with a soft call,
bleed!
And I bleed from my heart.
Blood,
More!!

I listened until all of her calls overwhelmed me.
Bleed!
And I bleed.

The mirror called in horror at what she saw.
The lifeless limp body of a girl.
A mutilated girl with her hair cut and strewn.

The room is in disarray with maids coming and going.
The mirror saw it all and watched me being taken away.
Come back she cried,
and I could no longer listen because I had died.
