Some Form of Anxiety


She walks with her

fists curved into a ball

clinching on to the words unspoken

suffocated by scream she's been holding in her chest

like a little girl abandoned

listening for echoes in hopes to find someone else to accompany

- she 

deaf to the auto.... tuned within her self.
