Separation Anxiety
I am floundering
Tripping
Stumbling
Falling
Not wanting to rise again
I can’t think about it because
I get a lump in my throat
My eyes threaten to cry
I feel sick to my stomach
I am uncertain
Unsure
Unstable
I don’t know how to make it through this
I will pretend
Masquerade
Bluff
Take so many deep breaths
That I shall eat up all the oxygen in the room
In an attempt to be okay
