Notes About The Poem

Self-Deluded Brain

I have tons of dreams amid the night's agony.
My optimism was tainted by despair.
Is there a cure to reignite passion?
Even anxiety found me sad.
The walls of the soul were silent.
The definition of wanting was inhibited.
And now I find myself at the ending of the hallway.
I am vigorously and repeatedly supervised.
Have faith in healing, waiting for relief.
We are puzzled by social visions.
The sharp focus is like a cloud.
The light on the Dark Ages.
Appears and vanishes.
Meaningless.
Stress.

Nice work, Lasaad. Yes, one can easily be overwhelmed by anxiety..., but, frankly, writing is a wonderful therapy. I wish I had a pill that would obliterate stress; I'd be enormously wealthy~!

Thanks for reading and commenting, Milton. You have said it perfectly: writing is a stress-relieving treatment that works better than any pill. Believe me, Freind, if we quit writing, death is better.
