An unsteady heart
A fidgeting breathe
An uncompromised art
An encompassed death

You lurk in my shadows
You wade in the deep
Although staying shallow
A paradoxical sleep

The nightmares over, why am I still asleep?
I guess it is better, than counting black sheep.

This sonnet is meant to show the suffocating hold anxiety has on people.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
