Challenge

Write about anxiety.
Show Me What Normal Is So I Can Fake It
Give me a guide to follow
Something standered and common
The thing everybody was born with.
Except for me.
The thing I'm missing is tangible
I know what it should feel like
to be able to not feel like puking all the time.
I know it's normal to not cry all the time,
To be able to sleep through the night,
And only sweat when with fever,
And to only shake when cold.
I know that I'm supposed to
Be able to calm down.
Instead I'm always on the edge waiting
For a thoughtless gesture or word
To blow me over
Crash on the the rocks below
And lie still.
