Book preview

Anxiety Hits.

It's said that passion keeps the dream alive, and variety is the spice of life.  I can't correlate such optimism, constant clouds, no sunlight shining bright.

I feel nothing to relate to joy, I've completely lost my fire,

years have passed since I've felt a spark; that I'm someone to admire.

It's not attractive to be me, a walking upset fool.

So I lie by day, and die by night, my thought process is cruel.

I wander through natures wonder, to set aside my woes,

and to myself, my daydreams I ponder, and my dark anxiety grows.

For I, for one, am wearing a mask, talking pleasantly;

yet deep inside I yearn with all my aching heart, that I could live as me.

Anxiety is lost, for a moment. Alone.

I look across a barren field and I see colour, haze, and flowers. I decide to linger, smell the air, and the minutes turn to hours.

I've been here before, I know I have; Its a place that calls to me. For when I'm here it's new again and my dreams are all I see.

I get lost in time, in air, in depth, in all my intricacies.

I scrutinize, and blink, and yawn and let sunlight cover me.

When the light turns away, and the grass gets cold, its time to leave and see; if this night, in fact, alone again, will be any different for me.

Peace, at last.

I could watch this blank wall all day, it's still and perfectly quiet.  I just want to switch off and breathe, allow myself to escape the daily riot.
