Lighthouse For the Sufferers

I'm anxious, puzzled by these brain tricks, my minds entwined in vines and I can't find my way through this. Why am I drinking caffeine? What does my cat see? Existential thoughts cause my mind to rot as I invert, can't speak. I can't show how to be alive but I can show you how to hide when it eats you up inside, and if you then decide to ask for help when you're behind you won't ever come to find the words to say it or describe. Ride it like a wave, you're a vessel in this ocean you're emotions are the motion there's a lifeboat you can float in when the waves behave and you hold on, all your hope in. Natures only way stay on board and stay in focus. Float on through, right there! You're almost there. See the light there? A light to guide us home during stormy seas and nightmares.
