""""
The acid in my stomach is rising
and I can for once feel the physical toll
of my anxiety.
The things I can't help
or can't hide from
are the invisible hands pushing my back,
and I can finally see this.
I try to hold myself up with pure force.
The equilibrium that I have during all of this makes me
smile because it was supposed to be this way all along.
When I stand outside of my mind
and see the world unfold,
the water from the earth drops,
leaving the core to float along in space
bare and tiny, the way we'd never expect to see it.
The earth's water pours onto me
like a forceful shower.
I'm still faced forward.
I'm unprepared
and on the ground.
I'm unsurprised by all of this.
The things I can't help
are many,
maybe even all.
