An Alarm

My anxiety isn't black.
It is red.
A blaring alarm.
A flashing light.
A warning.
A constant, screaming warning.
WARNING!
Warning!
Warning...
If the alarm sounds
for so long
Maybe I can drown it out.
But my anxiety isn't soft.
It isn't dark.
It's flashing and panicked.
My anxiety isn't black.
My anxiety
Is red.
