Anxiety:
I have built a wall,
It is neither sturdy nor feeble,
Neither strong nor penetrable,
It is the strongest barrier ever built yet,
It does not exist.
It is located in a place that no one can get to,
Except for me.
It is located in a place that has unfathomable depth yet,
It can only hold so much.
For this wall is located in my mind.
I built this wall for a special purpose,
It holds off the cloud that also occupies my brain.
This dark, unforgiving storm rages,
And only comes forth when I have called it.
It shatters obstacle that I have unknowingly placed in my head,
And brings unimaginable pessimistic feelings,
Such as guilt, anguish, sorrow, fear.
The tempest writhes and breaks what I once felt as joy,
And only when it is done,
I can place the wall again…
