Theme: Anxiety

Synopsis: What if anxiety attacks you when you are being so weak?


As the dandelions flew away,

birds were chirping like poetry.

I listened so I should stay

In the south meadow where the cold-blooded

—were about to melt.


I heard some noises above my head, 

murmuring something I couldn't get;

whispering wishes, screaming lies—

Should I run away or just cover my ears?


Fear and crying could lose my sanity,

but all of those words triggered my anxiety.

I tried to help myself just to be saved,

but I drowned and dug myself a grave.
