Sea Of Anxiety

Struggling to stay afloat

Grasping at straws

Mind out of control

Longing to be free of chains

That bind the soul

Chest tightening

Laying still

Searching

But unable to find

Could there be something wrong with being?

All life’s menace

Creeping up behind

The glare of lights so blinding

Stealing sight from eyes

Clouds often remain still

Refusing to clear

Pushing things further and further

Into the depths of despair

Eyes closed

Spirit never resting

Walking aimlessly forward

Hands held upwards to the sky

No tears falling

All wells have run dry

The baggage of life

Brings with it

A heavy chest

Burdened with strife

Driven to the realms of insanity

Do we give up hope?

Allowing ourselves to drown in a sea of anxiety
