Question

Do you ever feel
like that ball of lead
that yarn of anxiety
just grows
and grows
and spins out of control
and you sort of let it
and you sort of encourage it
because you figure
you'll deal with it soon enough
anyways
and then you don't

and then it becomes
this immense shadow
in the corner of your eye

until you realize
that yarn is
mostly
thin air
and you should get your act
together
because grown people
aren't afraid of the dark
and you really
really
ought to stop
making such a
big
deal
of something
that was not
that big
to begin with
?

I do.
