There’s an uneasiness I just can’t shake
It surfaces when I find myself alone
And everything is quiet and peaceful
And when I think I’d feel content
It sneaks in
Stealing my calm and quiet moments
Filling them with anxiety and despair
Disrupting the equilibrium I try to keep
I don’t get to decide when it comes or goes
I just wait
Eventually something else catches my attention
And I am free of this for a bit longer
Even still,
It never truly goes away, not for long
It sits in my stomach, a constant churning
And in my hands, as the slightest shake
In my head, distracting and disorienting
Always present
Sometimes it stays hidden for days
And I start to think everything’s okay
But even on my best days
There's an uneasiness I just can’t shake
