the age of anxiety


This child is no longer a child,

discarded in a toxic environment.

This is the age of anxiety.

Stress, depression, isolation.

 

This child was ripped away from childhood

to question reality.

Panic, heart palpilations, hyperventilation.

 

This child is no longer a child, 

but a victim of abandonment.

This is the age of anxiety.
