“Anxiety In”

Night out, Night in
I’ll invert the world when anxiety floats in
Rip the air from my lungs
When anxiety floats in

The world believes I’m secure
Passive language, I’m never sure
It’s easier for the world to walk away
Rather than look me in the eyes
It fears what I can say
So it rips my air away
But I breathe in healing
The healing love of the universe

Night out, Night in
I’ll invert the world when anxiety floats in
Rip the air from my lungs
When my anxiety floats in

My heart beats in trashes
Passing through the passive route
Steady beat
Hold on
Eat the moon
And see if it still beats true
It does
Press it through

Night out, Night in
I’ll invert the world when anxiety floats in
Rip the air from my lungs
When my anxiety floats in

Bursting through the mental aqueduct
Blood flows through the last of us
Anxiety sneaks into the best of us
Crashing to the worst of us
Our eyes are treacherous
Watching ourselves, hopeless
As our souls are abducted
Back through the aqueduct

Night out, Night in
I’ll live through the pain when anxiety floats in
Breathe a new flow
When my anxiety floats in

Welcome to c/writing!

This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.

This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!

Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.

All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.
