Anxiety attacks

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.
