It has been said that time heals all wounds. I don't agree. The wounds remain. Time - the mind, protecting its sanity - covers them with some scar tissue and the pain lessens, but it is never gone.<br /> <br /> Rose Kennedy


I don’t like the way it creeps,

the way it crawls,

the way it seeps,

the way it drawls.

 

Through my veins

and then beneath,

the way it drains

my emotions' sheath.

That’s it’s name.

Don’t say it loud,

else become aflame

in a grey ash cloud.

 

Heat to hyperventilate

And drown in what’s burned

Can’t even walk straight

From what I have learned.

Why do you play?

Why do you hurt?

Mold me like clay?

Make my voice curt?

 

God, go away.

You don’t belong.

Don’t make me say

that you make me feel wrong.

The author's comments:

Anxiety, feeling anxious, is always a difficult thing, and has been for me for some time. It's almost a jittery depressing warning that sends my emotions and groundings into a frenzy. So, I wrote a poem about it, just to get it out.
