Anxiety hides away from everyone as the day goes by

then bam, it hits with no warning or sign,

taking over for the time being.

Only indication

Is the uncontrollable crying, but to others it is not justified.

Is it an overreaction,

getting angry and throwing my hands up in the air—

like an airplane pilot landing a plane—

as I search for the words, that just will not come out.

Even the dog is looking at me

like I’m crazy and out of line.

Why are words failing me, even as I feel

so many emotions inside? Emotions of all different kinds

confusion setting in where I am unsure where I am,

even yet, words fail me, in much of the same way

my actions are not properly explaining how I feel either.

Anxiety is a very tricky thing—

like a bomb waiting to explode.
