Reflections and ramblings about life as an educator, writer, reader, knitter, and over-thinker. Trying to do the writing only I can do.

  • A Note for You, Anxiety

    Dear anxiety,

    sometimes you trick me

    make me think

    you’ve got the best of me

    make me paralyzed

    and dizzy

    with fear of what you’ll

    take next from me.

    But anxiety,

    I’ve got tricks up my sleeve, too.

    I’ve got words

    and breaths

    and movements

    that will help me shake free of you.

    And anxiety,

    I’ve always

    always

    survived your schemes.

    So you can keep trying,

    but you won’t catch me.
