The Emotionary No.2 - Anxious

Anxious

[angk-shuhs] adjective

Anxious is like a magnet, attracting stray thoughts, like iron filings. Heavy-metal mutterings that rush in on you, crowding together, shuffling and whispering:

What if? What if? What if?

They mean no harm, these iron thoughts. Hiding from them will increase their magnetism. They must have their answers. Please give them their answers:

What if it’s lies? Then I will leave.

What if it’s true? Then I’ll believe.

What if she dies? Then I will grieve.
