I’ve wasted hours
stacking shelves
with not good enough.
I’ll never get into bed
to be ready on time
with washing up
this tight chest,
teetering on an invisible edge
restless.
helpless
pacing with my loneliness.
I found old CBT diagrams I drew to cope with anxiety attacks.
I decided to turn them into poetry instead of painful memories.
