Blink. Hard.
Clamp toes release, slightly better
Now-
Take a breath.
Blink, again blink.
Worry thought
Worry thought
Blink, hard.
Lists, things many things
Time of the essence
Nervous, anxious
Blink, release.
Better.
Overwhelming blink
Worried for the 100th time
People pleasing, heart racing.
Blink, hoping everything is ok.
Constant thoughts, constant racing, wondering, worrying.
Anxiety, blinking it away
For just a moment, peace ensues.
Then blink again. Better.

This was very interesting! There are many ways that this piece of literature. There are lots of ways that this could be interpreted which is not a bad thing. I think it may be helpful to give a little insight as to what you are experiencing and what is going on, even if you save it for the very last line. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI think you captured how I feel almost every day. I interpreted this poem to be about stress. A few suggestions...you mention the words "release" and "constant" a few times. Perhaps use a synonym of these words? Also 2 lines in a row say "Worry thought." Perhaps make these just slightly different?
ReplyDeleteI also felt like this was about stress! Maybe I am wrong, but I like how it's relatable to most people's lives. I really like how you use repetition. That is my favorite part of the poem. One idea I have is during the lines "Worry thought" maybe you could say something like "worry thought" and then "thought worry" or use this type of technique somewhere in the poem. Very nice!
