Health

I started obsessing
Over my health
When my anxiety
Told me
I couldn’t function
If my body wasn’t well

Staying in my bed
Untill I’d felt better
Became the norm

So I became scared of
Feeling unwell
Which made me
Feel unwell

Picking apart
What is actually happening
Inside my body
And what anxiety is
Making me feel
Is an art
I am still mastering

And then the global pandemic hit
Making me feel
Like I’m starting at
Square one again

But I’m not letting anxiety win
This time
