"Anxiety"

Everyone has a diagnosis

for my neurosis

or a cure or advice

I've heard every line

thinkable

"Pray for strength,"- it's biblical.

"Try therapy,"- it's fixable.

"Medicate,"- it's clinical.

"Think positive,"- I'm cynical.

Truly, it's that I'm too analytical

and my rhythmical frequencies

and whimsical heartbeat

on a different plane

or wavelength

I'm a rare original individual

who values being alone

and cannot be understood by the typical

no matter how transparent I try to be

it's difficult

to come down levels

to settle

for what's beneath me

I turn invisible mid conversation

exasperated by the blind compliancy

and since they could never fathom why

I call it...

Anxiety
