When you’re mind gets like this when the spirits of your past self haunt you with every misspoken word or awkward interaction you feel as if you’re trapped in a haunted house tip toeing around your own mind trying to dodge the parts of creaky wood that is your memories as not to alert the next specter itching for a scare you look to see the shards of glass that once we’re mirrors that you saw reflections of yourself in versions of you that no longer exist hoping the fractured parts of you don’t tear through those cracks and drag you back to times long wished forgotten some days you make it to the end successfully avoiding the haunted house that is your mind and other days the spirits have a hold that is simply to tight but there’s always another day to open the door and bask in the kinder light

Thank you so much for this piece of work!! As someone with anxiety, haunted houses always give me panic attacks. With that said, comparing anxiety to a haunted house just makes so much sense. I also adore that your writing is just one long sentence that builds upon one aspect on top of another, it really gives the experience of building suspense and anxiety. Amazing!
I really enjoyed reading your post. It is very creative to compare anxiety to a haunted house. I liked how you compared tiptoeing around a haunted house to avoid ghosts to trying to avoid certain memories to avoid anxiety. I think you did a great job of capturing what it is like to have anxiety and constantly having to deal with worries or fears. I also liked how you ended your post by saying you can open the door to the house to be in the light.
I like how you compared anxiety to haunted houses. I never liked haunted houses because they make me paranoid, especially after watching the movie “Us” makes me even more afraid of haunted houses. You did great with making your writing a whole paragraph without punctuation, it made the reading suspenseful.
