Inner Debilitating Chaos
A Mental Health Trio
A claustrophobic
anxiety/social anxiety cocktail—
~
synapses, neurons, and pathways
become static
when strangers are inquired invitation
to my home
amplify static per person
upon arrival
debilitating chaos ensues
~
my nerves, frayed wires
rapid shocks to my nervous system
~
realistic illusion my heart
stopping
falling
to the pit of my stomach
~
on the floor
knees held against my chest
a hunched human cluster
I become.
*Please take Mental Health issues seriously; please be kind and compassionate to those in your life who have claustrophobia, anxiety, social anxiety, or any other mental health issue. Be a friend or family member they can talk to without fear of a dismissive response.

Why Just Write Is The Best Advice You Don’t Listen To
Before the last 6 months, I hadn’t written anything that wasn’t for my job or university for a number of years. I wanted to write more, I used to write all the time just for fun. I used to write poems and short stories that were just for me. I used to show them to certain members of my family but it was the process of writing them that I really enjoyed.
