(This poem might be the most visually chaotic and incoherent one I've ever written, but I really wanted to capture the feeling of anxiety, at least, from my perspective of it. Anxiety's not fun guys. Hope you're all doing great <3)
Back
And forth, back and
forth, back and forth
Back and
forth, back
And forth.
On loop
In my head
Here to
There
There to
Here.
On a ceaseless cycle
Never stopping
As a blinding darkness swallows the earth
Heavy silence
among the silence
Among the
silence
Over the noise.
Of silence
The loud
silence.
Screaming
silence.
Brought to a stuttering close.
Stuttering to a halt.
Stuttering silence.
And again and
Again and
Again.
An infinite refrain.
I'm all the way across the ocean
Too far from
Myself
To hear the
sounds
That are so loud in my ears.
Swallowed by the earth
Again, back
to the beginning
Again
All over the place. At the same time.
