Squirrels are good metaphors

[breezeshadow]

A squirrel somehow
trapped in my chest
Clawing frantically
my heart quivering
against ribs battered
Stormy blood and minds
Run to release
rain but where
willful squirrel
finds release?

Seriously, anxiety!squirrel, go find a tree or something.

Mine's a mouse. Rodents are good for anxiety metaphors. *nods*

Before I started undergoing legit treatment, mine was a bear. Starting to think the bear was the depression-anxiety combo.
