Deep

dark sea

where monsters lurk,

paranoia thrives,

and only the strangest,

scariest,

strongest survive.


Predators flourish.

Illuminating crevices,

blending into surroundings,

superiority abundant.


Waiting for the perfect moment

To strike.


Prey threatened

by ominous creatures

loitering

among the depth.


Waiting for the perfect moment

To strike.

This piece highlight my struggles with anxiety and how at any moment a single thought could make me spiral.
