Ode to Anxiety My body has learned a new trick And because it is so enthusiastic about the things it learns It tries it… and tries it… Everyday… Anytime possible… I can feel it Right now Attempting to cut my own breath As if invisible inside claws held my throat tighter and tighter Letting go at times And going back to the choking after deciding I’ve had my fair share of O2 I don’t need to see them I feel them alright. Anxiety, (They call it online) Obsessive thoughts, Panic attacks, Depression… Derived from unresolved issues from the past Triggered by new issues in my present. Attacks From the inside... By my enemy Myself. © Grecia Albornoz 2019
