Unrest

Unrest

Another panic attack
Brain’s dial stuck on whack
Search for the balance
There is no turning back

Cannot affect my whole day
All the ways I convey
How I get lost in perception 
Oh, how my thoughts stray

I seek inner harmony 
Thoughts with grounded symmetry
Once I lose the uneasiness in my core
Time to use my grey matter amply aptly

Ah! Freedom from discord
Intensity does not always jump the fjord
If I remember to exhale
Myself in minutes, aboveboard

I have learned to live this way
Deep breathing inside my airway
Instability soon will feign
I embrace the color gray

Nothing is black or white
Independent creates the blight
Let us aspire to sway
Open minded souls of light
