Thursday I walked to a job
I was not keen on
And welcomed the money
It alerted me
By a slight anxiety
Discomfort in my body
This is not my identity
Definitely not somewhere I want to be
On Friday, it repeated
A bit more gently
Like a nudge « Do you remember when I asked … »
Then it stopped
Come Monday
It went totally quiet
That’s when it really scared me
When, not receiving acknowledgement
My body stopped talking to me
