Pondering Life
As I walk along my feet freely wander
as my mind seems to run and ponder
reflecting on my life’s unexpected gifts
affecting my whole reality to severely shift
As I walk along each day, I try to stay humble
But sometimes my words blurt out and fumble
Feeling grateful and contentment most days
But anxiety still destroys my psyche in ways
Feelings of fear, worry and doubtfulness
Slowly chips away my joy and happiness
Sometimes it’s ferocious fear and very fast
Luckily those dark days have mostly passed
Today as I walk along and smell the spring air
I reflect on my struggles and all I have had to bear
Feeling more fortunate but remaining humble
No longer allowing my anxiety to make me crumble
