Anxiety
Some days
Like today
When my body
Doesn’t feel like it’s mine
My hang nails
Have all been chewed
Down to their quick
My core is shakey
My brain is full
Everything inside me
Is completely rattled
Everything aches
My bones brittle
Hair in disarray
My eyes are heavy
I succumb to the weight
A nail biting hollowness
That leaves me feeling
Like a grade school kid’s scribbles
Crayon colored congestion
Straight in the center
Of my construction paper canvas
A hopeless display
For all to see
While the world mocks me
I bite off one more nail
And remind myself
Its all in my head
“You got this!”

You do have this! You put in words so beautifully what we all feel at times.
