The Bags Under My Eyes

They emerged one Sunday afternoon Inflated and heavily pregnant Swollen with painful breaking news A sudden downpour of sadness Wrapped across my chest Holding my heart down An anxiety attack of some sort Took charge of my body Incapacitating my thoughts I was now a prisoner of my mind Held down by heavy chains of fear Flashes of unanswered questions Rained on my frozen thoughts Striking at the heart of my fear Sending tremors across my body Releasing sparks of raw fear To terrorize my confused mind As my thoughts struggled to defrost My heart struggled to beat And my knees struggled to be strong again I found myself staring in the mirror Frozen in time and space An ancient relic Unveiled Age
