It is infuriating, how my own hands weave these expectations and wrap them around myself like a cursed piece of cloth.

The possibility that it might strangle me,
cut off my oxygen supply,
or my rapid heartbeats; it arouses anxiety- such a kind that puts mad,
impossible thoughts in my head.

Anxiety does not kill, you say?
If only you could share some of mine.
