Anxiety Machine
Opening the computer,
just for some fun.
Staring at the screen,
all the plans are undone.
The niggling feeling
at the back of my head,
that I have work to do
pounds at me instead.
Robbing me of the joy
that I might have had,
making me feel like
I am something so bad.
So I shut down the machine
that once made me smile,
for a bit of housework
that could have waited a while.
