Anxieties Prison
Anxiety they said "its one of those things".
Can affect anybody with the sadness it brings.
It's a crushing inside me, a numbness out.
It's hard to explain, I can't release my shout.
Frustration, loneliness, eyes looking at me.
I retreat to the shadows, behind lock and key.
But where is the medicine the pill or the cure.
The forcefield to protect me from life's allure.
People think I'm content, hid from life's grind
I am desperate to cut free from this my bind
Taking time out, it makes it harder to return.
Intensifying the questions, the eyes still burn.
The answer is in a moment, maybe just one
Sit on the doorstep once the day is done
Glance from the window or a garden chair
Each moment a victory setting back dispair.
Build on it, every moment is closer to your release
I wish you love, bravery and renewed inner peace.
