Returned

You gave me back the stars 
that were doomed in my memory. 

The constellations which had 
left an acrid taste in mouth 
now taste sweet. 
The bitterness of their 
sacred names swiftly dissipating 
from my sullen tongue.

Snake

My anxiety is a snake 
slowly constricting the 
conflicted parts of my brain, 
increasing the tension 
on my subconscious 
worries and pains. 

It invites in my 
insecurities to intrusively 
choke me with doubts, 
but instead of expelling air 
it's belligerencies escaping 
from my mouth.

Agony

My agony 
feels like a red-hot 
and ragged blade 
stabbing into my sternum. 
It twists and digs 
its' way deeper 
into the pit 
of my stomach 
as my breaths become 
sharp and uneven. 
My lungs struggle, 
burning with each 
painful gasp. 
Making me 
fight for the air 
I don't even 
want to breathe...
