After being
several weeks
secluded
silent
unseen
and
Now fretting
over
if
anyone
noticed
my absence
After being
several weeks
secluded
silent
unseen
and
Now fretting
over
if
anyone
noticed
my absence
Something is not right
I cannot name what is wrong
But it hurts the heart
Like foods that cause belly fat
And stress without rest
Darkness dances
in my eyes
attempting to rest
the mind
but thoughts
invade
persist
forbid
bedtime repose
Nightly
hours
of sleepless stress
Is everything ready
for
tomorrow?
What if
I’m not ready?
Will I lose
control?
…count backwards
one hundred
ninety nine
ninety eight
ninety seven…
12:17
Did I make
my car
payment?
What if
I didn’t?
Will it
ruin
my credit?
…count backwards
one hundred
ninety nine
ninety eight…
2:47
What did she
mean
by that?
Am I
wrong?
Did she tell
others?
…count
…back wards
one hundred
ninety nine…
4:06
Why
am I awake
again?
What’s on
TV?
