Restricted Living
January 22, 2019
It was not
What she didn’t have
That made her feel this
Monster
Clawing at her mind
Causing her
To stay home
In the
Safety
Of her room
Restricting her from a “normal” life
It was not
What she didn’t have
That made her feel this
Bubble
Closing in on her well being
Causing her
To leave scars
Up
And Down
Her arms
Restricting her from a “normal” life
It was
What she did have
That they called
Anxiety
Taking up space
To capture
Her thoughts
And
Twist
Them together
Leaving behind
Marks
Reminding her
Of what had happened
Restricting her from a “normal” life
