Untitled Poem

White knuckles gripping tighter
A swift wipe of my sweaty palm.

Anxiety rises and muscles tense
Tears well up on the cheek.

Fear and loneliness seep inside
How can I seek the truth?

An itch, a thought, a word
None can sooth me now.

Clinging to unknown depths and layers
Wishing for peace and acceptance.

Wow Mandy! I could feel the anxiety build as each verse followed. Loved it!

You've painted a vivid picture with your words. I love it! (Hope it's not really something that's going on...if so, I'm here if you need to holler, scream, vent, etc.)

I had to come back to read this poem again. I really love it!
