POETRY | THE BRAIN IS A NOODLE

Anxiety, Be Gone

Tools in my toolbox

You are that constant buzz that sets my heart a~flutterin’ riddle me this way and that I never know when yer comin’

Once you had me trembling pondering when you’d strike braced to the point of fumbling I couldn’t figure you out

My day would be going well only clear skies and sailin’ and then BAM! there you’d be leaving me kicking and flailin’

What kind of monster does this with no warning bells insight stripping me of all my bliss ’til I, in desperation, crumble

Now I have the tools to fight you you can no longer sneak around a dose of daily meditation and I am free of you, unbound

And should you think of sneaking through deep breathing does away with you

Some rhymes in response to Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她)’s poetry prompt — reflect on what’s in your anxiety toolbox
