Anxiety attacks, and colonizes the body
Forcing it to face the horror of mortality.
My heart who would skip a beat
to a shy forehead kiss;
is now in a pounding rampage,
to annihilate the ribcage.
Anxiety defends, and detains the spirit.
Terrorizing it to make fashionable edits.
My soul that soars through
floating islands or kingdom of gnomes
is now locked in quarantine
at the comfort zone.
