Hiding Behind Anxiety

Hiding Behind Anxiety

A Poem by Erika Jones

I can feel myself choking,
breathing is so difficult that
crying sounds like a great idea.

Don't ask me to speak,
no sound will come unless you
count my labored breathing.

I want to run away,
leave everything behind so I
can't disgrace myself like this again.

I'm a screw up, I can never
do anything right and you feel that
constantly reminding me is funny.

My feelings mean nothing to you,
the constant critique of my life,
always ignoring what I do right and

seeing everything I do wrong.
