Anxiety

Underneath our nice, friendly facades
there is great unease.
If I were to scratch below the surface of anyone
I would find fear and anxiety running amok.
We all have ways to cover them up.
We overwork, over-drink, overeat;
we watch too much television,
we look for relationships.
We are always doing something
to cover up our basic existential anxiety.
