Anxiety
I'm trying so hard to concentrate,
 but he words are spinning
 around the page
 and around my head.
 Like a twister fueled
 by words left unsaid.
 Mouth closed,
 I bite my lip.
 The best way I know how
 to hold this jumbled mess in.
 But somewhere in the room
 a foot taps incessantly.
 And as I look around,
 only blank faces stare back at me.
 As my teeth press harder
 against the soft tissue of my lips,
 I feel the scars on my heart
 puncture
 and give in.
 Giving way to unending waves
 of feelings that 
 rush over the page.
 And as I'm screaming,
 writhing,
 cringing in pain,
 blank faces stare back at me, 
 all the same.
 I'd apologize 
 for the mess I've made, 
 but blank faces don't feel anyways.
