It eats at me
a gnawing thing
burrowing deep, it
settles into muscles
and organs.
I breathe it
into sentences
here
with you.
As I reveal it,
I feel it
breaking.
Teeth and jaws
melting
into bones
and sinew.
I’m fearlessly reborn.

Words can do that, can’t they? Break the fear down into easy to take doses. Loved it.
