An uneasy wind with persistent wings
Declares me its prey and brings
deeper dread, deeper than fear
I’m afraid I might hear
My own apprehensions in the dizzy silence
I fear distress may resort to violence
If I am made to stay any longer
The trepidation will grow stronger
I must leave their company, the company of all
And hide away in my small
cozy, quiet self
And gaze at my shelf
Pick out another book, Dickens or why not Austen?
And excercising
Yep. This describes it well. Thanks for putting anxiety into words.
Thank you so much for the feedback! And I really felt I needed to bring more into the poem for this prompt because I feel all of this so often.
