Tick

Where will it appear?
In my mind it’s always there.
Infiltrating thoughts
and creating more.

But physically, how will it show?
A tick in the hands, shoulders, neck or face.
Which subconscious choice
will lead to today’s disgrace?

As my heart races,
my anxiety settles in.
Making its home
in a space too familiar.

I wish I could wish it gone,
to not be burdened by its grip,
wondering where it will appear,
tick
after
tick.
