Anxiety

 

 

Inside, where he had been most of the day.

Back and forth, undeciding

When what you chose is never right

Does it matter what you do?

Friends on hold, movie paused

Snow falling, music lost

Breathe, and walk and breathe again

It relents

Here come the promises so, he can keep it down

Going to quit drinking. Well, maybe a little less,

Going to sit in a sauna. Sweat out all the excess,

Place boundaries all around

Breathe, and walk then breathe again

It relents

For a half-hour, maybe a few minutes

This is not a good practice, but it’s guaranteed brief relief.
