This Is My Anxiety

Falling asleep to illogical thoughts.
Seeing red or nothing but spots.
Heart racing toward the finish line.
Can't seem to catch that breath of mine.
A whooshing roar inside my head.
Sometimes wishing I was dead.
Treating symptoms not disease.
Praying hard while on my knees.
Listening to the same song a thousand times.
Putting my feelings down in rhymes.
Feeling lost and out of place.
Floating untethered through outerspace.
Crack a smile and blink back tears.
Trying to cope with irrational fears.
Not being able to trust my thoughts.
My stomach twisted up in knots.
Always in survival mode.
On the brink of overload.

Impending doom 
in every room...

Ambivalent stare 
trying to care...

Then I stop indulging and reel it in.
Calmly try to slow my spin.
Can't afford to lose my cool,
and be like every other fool.
So I shake it off and bite my lip.
Then tell myself to get a grip.

What Rhymes With Cupid Other Than Stupid

I am the ocean
You are a cave
I am entitled 
But you,sir, are brave
Into your crevices 
I will creep
I am vast 
But you are deep
I am the season 
You are the reason
I am the horizon 
You are a well
I am the hour
You are a bell
I try to consume 
But you make me swell 
I try to resist 
But find out you compel
If this isn't heaven 
It must be hell
You say that you jumped
I say oh well
You think you can lie 
But you have a tell
You were not cast 
You tripped and you fell

No Matter

Quintessentially quixotic, or apt to be deluded.
These words quite well describe you, or at least that's what I've concluded.

If I Can Have Your Attention Please

It's probably my attention deficit disorder.
I guess that my attention span is shorter.
Than most other people's anyways.
Stuff gets inside my mind but never really stays.
I'm frustrated irritated and my patience is depleted.
To be honest right now I'm feeling quite defeated.
I have a lot of thoughts that I cannot convey.
People just stare back at me not sure what to say.
But I know what I mean and I mean it all the way.
If only someone could understand me or relate.
I think my feelings and feel my thoughts.
But only I connect those dots.
I don't have fun and I don't like things.
Im familiar with joy but not what it brings.
I know sometimes I'm outta line and may come off sideways.
But that's just how the script inside my mind plays.
Even I'm surprised by some of the things that I do.
My impulsivity is hated by many but rivaled by few.
I'm not pragmatic but I'm not mundane.
I may be outta my mind but I'm not insane.
I do try to do better but I don't always succeed.
Got an internal struggle between what I want; what I need.
Lately what's right can't curb my desire.
To go down in flames, can't put out this fire.
I know that this road only ends in disaster.
But that thought only makes me push harder, drive faster.

Straight 'N Arrow

I shot an arrow just to see
If it would reach the open sea
And if it did, would it keep on?
Until it reached the horizon's end?
Around the Earth's curvaceous bend?
And pierced tomorrow's bright new dawn?

Don'T You

How can one just walk away as though they don't exist?
Like they never even mattered and they will not be missed?

As a parent,I find it very hard to understand.
How one day you were able to just let go their hand.

Don't you miss their sweet and silly faces?
Or how they filled the emptiness between all the spaces?

Of dark and lonely places?
Or have you been too damn wasted?

To realize just what it was you lost?
Or that your selfishness came at such a cost?

How is it that you can fall asleep each and every night?
Without these thoughts consuming you?
It doesn't seem quite right.

Don't you ever idly wonder what type of people they turned out to be?
If they act just like you? 
Or maybe just like me?

Are you even curious who taught your son to be a man?
Like how to treat a woman or shake somebody's hand?

Don't you want to know,or do you even care?
Just which dress to homecoming your Babygirl will wear?

Or how about the boy that takes her?
Wouldn't you want to meet him just to make sure?

That he won't harm your Princess; you're Darling Baby Daughter?
Don't you ever wonder what it would have been like to be their Father.......?!

Gem 'N I

I took a chance on you and what did i find?
The painful polarities of a dichotomous mind.

Princess Zoe Yawns-A-Lot

Princess Zoe Yawns-A-Lot
In Mommy's arms though you are not
In my heart you'll always be
Until you can come home with me

Slumbering soundly you softly snore
Dreaming dreams of sleepy lore
All goofy smiles and half closed eyes
My Baby Lady, My sweet surprise

My perfect angel Heaven sent to me
Zoe Baby, Mommy thinks of you incessantly
As each new day passes I'm filled with regret
It's my constant companion and won't let me forget

I cannot say these things out loud without my voice getting caught
So I put them down here, for you, my Zoe Ellah Yawns-A-Lot

Right There

You know that spot upon your chest where you sometimes place my hand grasped in yours?

"When you ask me can you feel that?" 

And for just one second my heart soars?

Well that is where it hurts right now; Not that I expect for you to care.

But still,I just wanted you to know that, that is where it hurts right now.

Right exactly there.

Swimming Hole

I found a secret swimming hole
And next to it a grassy knoll
The water was so blue and deep
Mesmerized I fell asleep
And in my sleep I dreamed a dream
That nothing was as it would seem
I dreamt of sunken treasure
At such a depth u could not measure 
And in my dream I was a fish
And I swam guard
Swish swish swish
I can't explain what drove me to
But in my heart I just knew
I must protect this loot because
That is what a guard fish does
