In A Mind; A book of poems

Anxiety

Everywhere.

In crowds.
At home.
At school.

A fear of something happening.
Something going wrong.
Fear consuming me.

I'm scared to talk to her.
I'm scared to finish this test.
I'm scared to take a walk.
What will happen?

I will say something wrong. She will laugh.
I will fail the test. Fail the class.
I will trip and fall. I will get taken.

I can't risk it.
Something bad will happen.
