The Story of My Life

It all started the moment I came out of my mother's womb I did things without overthinking it I lived like it was my last day on earth Always took a leap of faith. But now, I don't know what it is I'm suffering from But I think it's OCD and anxiety No as a matter of fact I know it is I can't do something without overthinking and taking leaps of faith is impossible for me. I'm too young to be stressing so much I'm too young to have have a blood pressure equivalent to that of a 60 year old I just  want a good life One without stress and anxiety Sometimes I lie on my bed in the dark Facing the ceiling and tears of sadness fall Sometimes I wish the floor could just open up and swallow me Sometimes I wish I could be a baby forever After wishing I always say one thing to myself "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride on" Then I move on with life Fake a smile, fake happiness and moooovve                         IT IS WHAT IT IS.

A life without passion is like a beautiful garden draped in constant shadows devoid of sunlight. Be passionate about your writing, Patrick! Develop new skills by studying, not just poetry penned by English writing poets...but poetry translated from Chinese and Japanese also. Learn of all the great poets, whatever their nationality...and immerse yourself in learning. Become the very best writer you can possibly become -- become passionate!! Good luck! :) john
