holding

Fear like an umbilical cord is wrapped about my neck.
Intestines are like pirates knots.
Fighting for a breath.
Anxiety overtakes me in a line up
I have to jump out of my skin.
Today’s list of activities crumbles
like a forgotten biscuit in my pocket.

What a great poem! I have never gone on a blog site before....I heard that Laura Davis (as in Courage to Heal) who has also had cancer...has a blog....don't know the site though....
