So anxious and too much to do

simple fix is two little blue pills

I can see everything now, 

but I don't really want to.

It's nice though, how

I was running short on inspiration

And these racing thoughts

transfer better now

It's nice though, how

My heartbeat feels nice

and the focus I had lost

is back now

But the only thing I can think is

I may be the writer

but they have better things to say

I may be smarter

but they take it day by day

I may have the perfect words

but they know the perfect way

and everything I worked so hard for 

can be quickly snatched away.

Beautiful poem ....

'they' are the 'bennies,' and the 'bennies' are amphetamines?

[Everson Taveras]

Who is exactly "they"? Only that much was unclear. The poem would have been stronger if it did not give the impression of a narrative. Dab a little soul into it, a little emotion to stir, and you've got yourself something worthwhile here. Keep it up. Thank you for sharing.

Gosh, the last line is so true yet so sad

[Don Shaw]

Great work.

[trainwreck]

Good job on this. It speaks to the heart.

A interesting poem. Your words are true. Need to stay focus and strong. A lot of negative can go against us. There is no perfect words. Just words that may give comfort and pleasure to other people. We need to stay positive. Negative lead us to a bad place. Thank you for a excellent poem.

Lovely poem. Relaxing with an undertone of anxiousness and hate.
