The anxiety creeps in

The anxiety creeps in
Will we go back down to three?
The anxiety creeps in
When will we know?
The anxiety creeps in
Before summer? At the end?
The anxiety creeps in

  2. The short sentences and questions illustrate your anxiety well. I hope that, for your sake, answers come to you soon. It’s the not knowing that’s the hardest (at least, for me).
