Anxiety
Checking your grades after that exam you expected to ace
Fail.
Flashing lights after going just a little too fast on the highway
Ticket.
Screen too bright to go unnoticed under those white sheets
Grounded.
Smoke that reached the nose of a teacher outside the stall
Suspended.
Confessions between lovers lead to secrets unraveled
Cheated.
A room full of expectations in the form of faces
Disappointed.
Promotions, raises, bonuses and gratitude
Absent.
Eating healthy and working harder than ever
Gained Weight.
Accepting and moving forward
Stops the river from pulling you under.
Perfectionism is a drug,
And Anxiety is her companion
