Stimulated AnxietiesA Poem by LeiAnxieties of human's darkest secrets even when we know the certainty of outcomes, do we still consider our disquietude as a symptom or a request to end the uncontrolled thoughts of a world of truthCaptured instantly, a focused thought A moment of distress, a loss of breath face of sweat… fast racing thoughts
no, no, no let undone
Fidgeting fingers Brain on one
One hundred times six by the power of three How can this world be so big yet no one can see? The trees dark green, the leaf blowing free The man on the bench with nothing to eat
The lady in the chair with a daily fight racing in her veins a common threat
The denial we feed That started with a girl just chasing a dream
Ah, these thoughts, brain racing mess
How can I survive with an overstimulated cortex? Without context, no emoji souls
No lies controlled by the stroke of a key Computers taking over life properties
Homeostasis Steady, steady, stable heart beat If I told you what I know, you'd think I was a freak
No?
Okay, let’s break it down How many colors do the trees offer?
100 million you see, for your eyes, don't lie unless you’re blind, then minus five
The crazy sad thoughts, yet I just don’t cry The expect in the sense of life’s intent
Proportioned with science, space versus time Spinning wheels with freezing times
Life is hard no denying that I wonder why the odds never match
Match to a real life, one with no struggle To enjoy the beauty of life’s vibrant colors
A swallow of breath A crisp in the air Catching my breath in a thickening stare
Oh, no an anxiety flare
the object in focus, hoping no one noticed telling myself, it will be over in moments
subsides, at last, exhaustion has followed
slow pace steps, I’m staring into time trying to get my thinking in line
even so, my brain keeps telling all the secrets that life keeps yelling
telling a tale a theory of unknown distinctions of attack
my anxiety is back
rewinding in place, panic, the persistence of stress takes away the beauty of pleasure anxiety, what a mess.
It’s life, deep Breath. © 2017 LeiReviews
