Anxiety at Night

My heart beats fast .

It feels like it’s going to jump out of my chest and across the room.

The dark shadows on the wall across from me.

The cars, going by, scaring me with the sudden light lighting up my room.

Quitness around me.

My body burning hot.

Anxious as I think about all the stuff that freaks me out,

including being alone at night,

in the darkness

of the

night.
