You visit
without warning
unlike a gentleman
come to call
my heart races
with terror
when you wend my way
you can make
the mightiest fall
I wish I could stop the
flutter in my chest,
the fear from things
unseen
Anxiety,
I don’t like you
please pack up your bags
And leave!

Music helps me at those times. That and/or a long walk. And sometimes writing a perfect poem does the trick, like you’ve just done.

For sure. And Blazing Saddles came out the same year as Frankenstein. ☺
