Because of Her Anxiety
Everything’s fine
Until her world collapses
Because of her anxiety.
She walks in the room, shaking
Walking up to her dad
Her abuser, her enemy,
Her worst nightmare.
Takes a seat
And starts to cry
Because of her anxiety
The man in front of her,
Perfect looking,
Hiding all of his flaws
But she can’t.
Because of her anxiety
Unable to speak
To move her mouth
Because of her anxiety
Unable to help herself
From this dreaded situation.
Scared, lonely, helpless
Feels trapped
In a bubble of fear
Can’t escape
Because of her anxiety
