Anxiety as a Consumable.A Poem by Krista EversonAnxiety is not what it appears.
Spinning uncontrollably
Time dances, frolicking... Far from standing still Voices are trailing near and far Many faces circle about, Judging, laughing, snickering, and judging Oxygen flow seems to stop Lungs are working overtime, Pleading for oxygen Time stands still Peripheral vision lacks sense Looking around...coming to some conclusion Nothing makes sense Spinning uncontrollably I feel nauseous Day in and day out, I crawl into a ball A small, capsule-like pill stares me in the face, Signaling to me its control Dare you take me, I hear the words The consumable staring me in the face, Is not alone in providing its effects Drink me, And the dance ceases to commence.
