anxiety, as defined by Merriam-Webster, means: an abnormal and overwhelming sense of apprehension and fear often marked physical signs
before i even wake up my body is tense, tense
from the pre-existing worry that something negative awaits, awaits
with ill intent that’s hellbent on ruining my life, life
is another task on my ‘to do’ list, list
everything that needs to be done before i get out of bed, bed
i can’t believe i’ve stayed lying down, down
the rabbit hole I go, go
down a dark tunnel of thoughts that tell me everything is wrong, wrong
exists more frequently than right, right
back to the beginning of my original plight of the previous night, night
is already here again, again
i’ll review every pre-existing worry in my sleepy head
