Remotion
May 2, 2014
Tear out the awkward
And throw it away
No awful, anxious,
Or fear ridden days
Rip out my bones and
Replace them with steel
Nothing can break me
If I cannot feel
Pain in my chest where
My heart used to live
Cut me or bleed me
There's no blood to give
Caress the shell of
What I used to be
Look in my eyes and
I'm no longer me

As a person with extreme anxiety, fear inspires me. I have always hated the part of me that had it. I thought of it as a weakness, but I realized that without it I would become nothing but the shell of what I am now. That was the very unnerving idea that pushed me to write this poem.
