Anxiety

Anxiety

A Poem by breakthebrokenone

Itches run up my wrists
flowing into my arms
the anxiety spreads
like a contagion

It travels
making homes in
each organ and burrowing
deeper into my skin
where it burns
holes in my mind
where the anxiety lives

Terribly beautiful. The words flow as I imagine the emotion flowing through your body.

It can be a killer. It's good to be on this side of it.
