Anxiety

Screaming. It's silent. It's growing louder. The silence screams. Fear. Consumed and confused. A need for peace. Peace comes from silence. The silence is screaming. Embrace or reject. Decisions. Teaching the silence not to scream. Silently screaming. Peace. Breath in all the sound. Nothing and everything. Everything at once. Full of emotion. Feeling empty. Pain. Numbness spreading. It's painful. Breath. Let out the numbness. Let in the pain. Embracing the agony. Feeling it all. Heartbeat. It's growing louder. Chest grows tight. Everything stops. Silence. Heart pounding. Breathing in the peace. The silence is screaming.

Wind

Riding a bike
Wind through her hair
Smiling so carefree
Never knowing
She wouldn't be going
Home
Did she know what was happening?
Did she see it coming?
The darkness
The danger
Did she try to run?
Did she try to scream?
Drop the bike
Wind through her hair
Face frozen in terror
Never knowing
If someone would be there
Faster towards safety
Home
What did she think?
What did she feel?
It's hard to imagine
It doesn't feel real
Why was she alone?
Why did I leave?
I went
Home
She is my sister
I didn't have to leave
She was just a child
She shouldn't have to be scared
When riding a bike
Wind through her hair
