what anxiety feels like

by Danah D.

It’s like being so stressed that you’re calm, or so calm that you’re stressed.

frozen farewell

when misery laughs in my face
and convinces me it was a good joke

by Danah D.

thorns soften
stems break
flowers burn
a garden bed suffocates
your ashes i will no longer take

by Danah D.

in a world where everything means something,
is a world where nothing means nothing.

by Danah D.

piercing silence

I just know that it wasn’t always this way — living in a white noise world of man-made machines with dead eyes.
