Strings of Anxiety
The tension taught on the fine threads woven across me
Electrified without power
Ready to surge and worry me
I delicately step between the lines
Not to disturb the balance of chaos and peace
Either way I cannot sleep
Without its grip tightening
Closing off the world around me
Abandoning the need for air
It takes control-unnaturally
I no longer have hold on the senses around me
