my anxiety
is the peg on a puzzle piece
that keeps me from fitting in.
i haven't left my house in days.

the world is overwhelming,
and my soul doesn't belong.
in the grand scheme of the universe,
i am a mistake.
a glitch.
my soul is stuck
in the body of the living,
when it should be six feet underground.

my soul is pounding
at the ivory jail cell in my chest
begging to be released
from this forced fit.
i want to be freed.
