ANXIETY
Ahsana Ziyad 2004 (Kerala)
I am the short
breaths,
and the tightness in
your chest,
and the minefield of
your mind,
and the what ifs and
back thens,
and the countless
conversations
of things said and
unsaid.
I am Illusion and
Confusion.
I am inside your head.
I have the power
to pause and rewind,
to fast forward,
to control space and
time.
I am the weeds deeply
Rooted,
strangling words and
leaving you
Muted.
I am the Voices in
your head,
I am your Wasted wit
and personality
Paused.
I am the Cause
And the Effect.
I am the Abyss and
I am the Pit.
