Image Description

A photo of four hornets around a hornets nest.

With every breath

My mind is in overdrive everytime I'm addressed

Every interaction feels like a test

Social gathering or a hornets nest

Either way I try my best

Somethings are best left

Left unexpressed

More of myself repressed

As anxiety manifests

I feel overwhelmed and depressed

Too tired to protest

Body is immunosuppressed

We breath in

Sign off

Close our eyes

Get help

Out of the hornets nest

Prepared for a day of rest
