It’s when you feel
Helpless, breathless, empty
I’ve felt that
I’ve felt that to the point where
All I saw was black
Anxiety
It’s when you feel like you’re drowning
In an ocean of all those kept feelings
They try to swallow you whole
Like a whale swallows krill
I have been that teeny tiny krill
Anxiety
Has been the whale
My father’s absence is my
Anxiety
