Baseless

Nobody knows I’d rather not tell Anxiety grows I’m under a spell The reason is vague I cannot explain I’m pained with this plague But feeling no pain What goes on inside Is hidden from you As though I have lied Of things I’ve been through Your torture is clear Evident are your trials It’s thicker than fear A sickness worth while While I remain weak I struggle the basics You cringe when I speak Over something so baseless

I wrote a poem once called "State of Mind" this poem reminds me of it a lot. Be well my dear. Just live one day at a time:)

I feel this, viscerally. I love how you do that. The tempo betrays the depth of pain but makes it so much more. If that makes sense ;), xomo!

Great rhythm and rhymes Anna, about something so difficult as bottling up your feelings. Hopefully you'll find an outlet for them. God bless you, Jennifer
