Anxiety

Sometimes anxiety wants to dance with me. Most of the time I'd like to sit this one out.

Sometimes anxiety
Is just
Stray synapses firing.

Sometimes anxiety
Wants to dance
With me
You know the moves,
She says,
You know the steps.
I tell her once I learned the box step,
Tried to learn the cha-cha-cha,
But mostly I make up the steps
As I go along.
Sometimes I am rather hard to follow.

Anxiety says
You’re telling me!
You never let me lead!
