In keeping with Mental Health Awareness Week, here's a poem I wrote many years ago when I was in a less happy place...😱
Anxiety state
Cruel uncertainty, why do you torture me?
Where is the steadfast, where is the sure?
Where is the calm reassuring security?
Where's inner peace, my sanity sanctuary?
All have escaped me
I’m losing my mind.
I am riding a not-so-merry
merry-go-round
and round.
Racing thoughts career wildly,
Wide-eyed, driven; like blood-thirsty greyhounds round the track;
Meaningless laps, exhausting, exasperating, excruciating.
No sooner executed, than resurrected to groundhog torment once more.
