Hunt

My first release in well over a year. Enjoy, friends.

My restrained breath

Constricting stress

A nipping at my heels

Right behind me it bites

Though I’m running I

Haven’t the strength for fights

Yesterday, tomorrow, today

It’s a routine that’ll never stray

Snapping jaws

Mauling with its claws

Killer beast

In pursuit of feast 

Licking its bloodied chops

Living another day at expense

Spinning the wheel that may slow but never stops.

Exploring how one really feels through poetry is so wonderful... And, another dear should understands what is being said... well, it is even more wonderful.
I really enjoyed your poem..
Thank you so much for sharing,

A very strong relatable piece of poetry and speaks to me of my battles with anxiety and severe depression. I couldn't have described it better then this piece, Karissa. Thank you for sharing your art with us.
