Anxiety... Poem by Fonda kerr

I stay like a play draw back the curtains and I fade away

Into the spotlight where I don't belong my hand's shake

and I can't breathe at all.



People watch me as I lose my footing and fall out of the

spotlight into the darkness where I belong

I can feel someone's hands around my throat feels like

someone is choking the life out of me in a panic I scream

tears pour down my face and I am filled with disgrace



Into the spotlight where I don't belong people watch me

but I feel alone I am ashamed watched by a crowd that

won't fade away the anxiety is all that remains.
