Anxious Soul
God,
Darling your so blind
You know exactly what you believe
You know exactly how to live it
And yet you don't
This knowledge
Personal fact
Is hidden by anxiety
Trying
Just trying
To make it through another day
I guess it’s true
Survivors can’t be philosophers
I can’t even live common truth
Every day
I ask another survivor
Who has figured out slightly more than me
If I’m ok
When their answer is yes
I make it through another
Thoughtless
Panic filled
Terribly silent day
So soul,
Don’t worry
I’m just on my way to find someone who is ok
I’ll make sure we are
And tell you so we can both rest
