Having Tea with Me

This just in! "Tonight I Drink to your Memory" is the First Place winner of the Third Annual Writer's Club Contest. I knew that was a winner! I KNEW IT!

Anxiety

Stop looking at me
You're making me ill
Your judgmental eyes
Pierce me like needles
In my mind
It's painful
I look away to
Protect myself
From your gaze
My chest is caving in

My stomach is inflating
I want to run away and hide
My jaw is clamped shut
I'm glued to my seat
I have turned to stone
Yet I feel like
I am a ticking time-bomb
Of explosive anger
I need help.... fast
I'm scared
