Uncaged

by Tara-Kay   Oct 18, 2023


I panic.
Not just worry, but full on panic.
Unhinged, uncaged,
Like a falcon swooping in on its prey.
I try to catch it,
But I'm frozen with its gaze,
And I know, I know I need to tame it,
Before it begins to fray.

    I was immersed in this piece. I've had the panic return recently head-on and it's truly terrifying. I relate to the "not just worry". And with the simile of the falcon, and trying to get a hold of our panic, of taming it, yet it can feel so much like it's out of our control. So sorry you're going through this.

    Thinking of you! Hope you share more on here soon <3
